Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

[Oniguro]

Hello~ I'm new to this tread and I'm aiming for Ink blue.
With advice from my wife I give my choco food till it gives the "begins growing new feathers" message.

Here is the log of what happened to me so far:
(the numbers below are the numbers of "begins growing new feathers" messages I got before waiting 6 hours)
Desert Yellow > Berries > 1 > Cork Brown
Cork Brown > Berries > 1 > Ul Brown
Ul Brown > Berries > 4 > Shale Brown
Shale Brown > Berries > 4 > Lavender Blue
Lavender Blue > Berries > 3 > Othard Blue
Othard Blue > Apple > 2 > Plum Purple

I didn't see that last one coming since it wasn't on the list but for now I guess I'll feed it some more berries to try and get to Royal Blue before I'll feed it Apples again.

If anyone has got a better plan, I'm all ears. (In fact, if you have a better plan I'll take you to a planet where everyone is all ears.)
