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

[Eadyn]

My path of progression is as follows, with the number of feather messages given per fruit fed:

Desert Yellow->Millioncorn Yellow (1/1 Xelphatol Apple)
Millioncorn Yellow->Pumpkin Orange (0/9 Xelphatol Apples, 1/1 O'Ghomoro Berry)
Pumpkin Orange->Sunset Orange (0/10 Xelphatol Apples, 1/1 O'Ghomoro Berry)
Sunset Orange-> ??? (0/10 Xelphatol Apples, 1/2 O'Ghomoro Berries)

I'm expecting Blood Red, given the previous results others have posted. I'm undecided between Dalamud, Rolanberry, and Wine Red currently as to what I want.

Got my Dalamud Red an hour ago Many times messing up while reading this forum. But the total count was 43 Apples, 10 pears, 15 Berries, and 5 Valfruit. (Dont remember the order in which I did it. many mistakes were made :P)

Husband gave his chocobo 15 doman plums and got 1 feather message from default and all in one sitting. It came out ice blue. I gave him another doman plum that he then fed and received another feather message. Waiting to see what color pops out.

54 berries, 49 apples and pears got me Midnight Blue

[Autumnfire]

ok, I'm confuzzled. I've been stuck on salmon pink for two cycles of feedings now… I'm trying to get to snow white, but nothing seems to be changing it from Salmon Pink at this point.

Anyone have advice for Royal Blue to Ink Blue?

OK so Im at Abyssal Blue -- 43 39 80

Correct me if I'm wrong Im going to use

Pineapples x 11 , Plums x 3 , and Valfruit x 2

What do you think Syrhen?

Current Colour: Abyssal Blue
43R, 39G, 80B

Desired Colour: Soot Black
37R, 35G, 30B


If you were to use the fruits that you suggested you would end up at something like 93R 99G 50B which is not the desired outcome. I would try the following combo:

x5 Apples
x5 Pears
x1 Berries

This combo should result in an RGB of around 38R, 34G, 35B and should push you into Soot Black range (if not you'd be very close). Remember your mileage may vary. For Science!

Hey everyone, I need some help with trying to go for Marsh Green.
I hit Lime Green with my first color change, but then I got antsy and added too many Mamook Pears, some Xelphatol Apples, and maybe a Valfruit or two, and it ended up Honey Yellow >_>;

Decided it would probably be better to only feed enough to get one new feathers message sort of creep little by little to try and control the color changes more and go from there.
I added some Domam Plums to lighten red since I think all of the hex numbers have to be lower to hit Marsh Green, and I ended up with Cream Yellow.
Added a few more Domam Plums and now I'm at Lime Green again.
Now I don't know what to do because going from Cream Yellow to Lime Green only took about 4~6 Domam Plums.
I don't want to overshoot and end up with a blue.
Any advice?

Fed another 4 Plums, got 1 feather message and now he's Apple Green >_>;

I have to lighten all three values but when I last fed him apples and such he ended up in the yellows and I don't want that :C
