The calculator clearly states it isn't anything conclusive.

and feeds such as this


is pointless since Apple and Plum washes each other out. So why feed 7 apples and then wash 2 out with plums? What purpose does those recommendations of feeding 20A + 20B + 20C do?

Worked for hundreds so far, and adding 20+20+20 deepens all overall, they don't cancel out.

Also, variables apply as colors are in a range, so your soot black may be a value and mine another, so the fruit that changes within a variable we have rounded to +/- 5, will land you differently at times.
We are doing the best with what we got, and it has worked seriously hundreds of times over the almost 300 pages, feel free to check. We know this variables result in some rng and loops as well.

Also, apples and plums don't wash each other out, they affect green by canceling the red and blue values thus only affecting green.

We always said it's recommendations.

I know you supposedly quit the thread, but in case you're reading, AttacKat is exactly right. Apples and plums work directly opposite each other. It even says so in that calculator you're using. Apples are (on average) +5 red, -5 blue & green. Plums are -5 red, +5 blue & green. Add those together and you get 0,0,0. No change.

If you get a recipe where you're using 2 opposing fruits in the same feed (apples & plums, pears & valfruit, berry & pineapple) then you need to subtract them from each other for the final recipe.

In the example you stated

Berry 7
Apple 7
Pear 9
Plum 2

you need to remove the apples & plums that cancel each other out, IE:

Berry 7
Apply 5
Pear 9

should give you the same result on the calculator.
