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

[Resolute]

So, from charcoal gray I am trying to get soot black. Last night I fed my chocobo 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), 1 Xelphatol Apple (got the message), and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (no message for either). I ran out of O'Ghomoro Berries. This morning, there was no change. So now I have fed him 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (got the message), 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), and 2 Xelphatol Apples (got the message). I will report if getting the message on all 3 makes a difference.

1) you can't tell anything by that terrible picture.
2) you didn't post a picture of the companion tab
3) you didn't post how you got there.

no one is going to believe you until you follow through on steps two and three.

Not asking for exact quantities of each fruit, but what colors did you end up doing through before hitting black?

Does look Soot Black and nothing forces him to reveal anything - especially since who cares if people on the internet believe him?

Well yeah, it looks black but in a dark setting Ink Bue, Charcoal Grey, even a dark purple would look black. He's probably doing it to get some attention :P

Even with the extra photos, I'm willing to bet he's got an Ink Blue.

Until I see the Chocobo menu that's what I'm going with, anyway @_@

It might be an Ink Blue, which looks like a very dark black and in a dark picture like that Ink blue is so close to black, it would come off black. If it is a true black that would be cool, but atm I know we can get soot black, which is more a dark grey-ish.

A few people in my FC are thinking of going Ink Blue because they want a chocobo that looks black. This guy has a (or did have a) ink blue, looks similar:

I agree, in the dark picture it's a close up, looks back. But when it's out in the sun light all the pictures are far off distance. Its very hard to see if it's an actual BLACK or an ink blue. if they were close up in the light we would be able to tell.

I have Ink Blue and I think what was posted is in fact Ink Blue. I hope it's not and that we finally have a confirmed Soot Black. Soot Black normally looks a bit more washed out, however, the Charcoal Gray choco that someone posted looked a lot darker than the Charcoal Grey I would expect so maybe Soot Black really is black black.

If you zoom in close to his pictures you can catch that real slight dark blue color. I had to Ctrl+ a few times, but it's there.

Yeah, that very last picture that was compared side by side is why I think it's Ink Blue. There's a slight blueish hue to it. Soot Black does not look like any sort of blue whatsoever.

In terms of obtaining Ink Blue, I don't have exact counts. Feeding lots of Berries and moderate amount of pears/apples got me to from Abyssal > Midnight > Ink. Less berries towards to end to lower the blue hue.
