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

[Coris]

apple green + plums (until new feathers are growing) should be celeste green.
At least mine turned from apple green to celeste green with plumes.

I got some pears growing and in the meantime I just gave him one of those listed before which were the cheapest xD
That's some expensive chocobo I am keeping here...
Well, Celeste Green would be a tad too bright for my likings (I think. Except there's an easy way to turn it darker from there)

So I've been helping FC members get to the colors they want and been researching this like all week. I don't know if this has already been posted because i'm too lazy to read through all of this to check, but here's how I've found works exceedingly well for chocobo coloring.

Step 1: check RGB values.
So you'll need the RGB values for the color you want, and the color you want to get to. I've been using the chocobo color spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...li=1&sle=true#

Step 2: Wolfram Alpha.
There's this really cool physics and math tool called Wolfram Alpha, link is below. Well luckily there's a widget that has been made for it regarding additive colors! This will give you a full RGB map to go by for hunting down the color you want. Now, you will need to open 2 of the widget, and input the color you have in one, and the color you want in the other.

Step 3: draw a line.
Now you will want to use your mouse as a marker to roughly estimate the color you are at's location, on the chart for the color you want (unfortunately you can't map 2 points on the same grid). now, use a pencil to draw a line FROM the one you have TO the one you want. This will essentially make a vector the direction you want to travel to.

Step 4: determine food.
The edge the vector you have just drawn points at, tells you roughly what food you need in order to get the color you want. Red corresponds to apples, blue to berries, green to pears, purple to valfruit, teal to doman plum, yellow to pineapple.

Step 5: feed.
If it is a great distance you may need more than 10 of the selected food, if very short you may need as little as 2 to 4. make your best guess and feed your chocobo!

Step 6: repeat as necessary.
don't worry if you overshoot. may take a couple of feedings but carefully adjust to the color you want and you're good!

SO HAPPY!

Just confirming the result I take from google doc are in fact reliable. Just made mine: ^^



Suits my Levin barding too.

a sample of 2 is in no way "reliable". Gratz though for your luck ^^

Been checking the values and variables of people "dancing" around soot black and they seem to always land out of range and I have to say that I have no idea where the values on the Google doc are coming from but maybe they are not the right ones. I've been working with both the Doc and another one for reference: http://www.superslothdesign.com/chocobo/
Can't say for sure one is right and the other is not, but those reviewing their feeds and colors and not landing on black but always around is because maybe they should consider a middle point in between. Not saying it's just so, but maybe it helps to reconsider the values too, the formula seems to work quite well now.

On a side note, can someone clarify the proper +5/-5? The way it was worded as one going to 255 while the others to zero is a bit confusing especially when we say +5, means deeper, which means a lower value in fact.

Pears do +5/-5 what, etc?

It might be because of my eyes that are totally messed up but... Is it me or Ice blue and Celeste green are almost the same color?

Celeste Green is the lightest in the blue/green range so there's not much difference really.

Kinda liking the effect this has with tidal barding though:

I'm trying to get from Nophica Green to Deepwood Green. This is what I did but I don't know if it's enough. Any ideas?

4 Pear + 3 Berries + 2 Apples.
