I don't see a Lavender Purple... do you mean Lavender Blue? If so, all of your colors are way higher than you want them, especially the blue. Drop them with a fair number of Apples, Berries, and Pears. I play things cautiously, so I'd try something like 7 Apples, 7 Pears, and 4 Berries (assuming you get a message), and then tweaking it once you see the result. When all the values are lower, it'll be easier to give advice. Right now, you need a fairly big change all three colors (-80 red, -80 green, -120 blue).

I got Dalamud Red in 3 fases:

Desert Yellow to Coral Pink:
Just used Apples and Berries till i had the Feather message on both

From Coral Pink to Blood Red:
Used Apples and Valfruit till i had the Feather message on both again

From Blood Red to Dalamud Red:
Only used Berries till the Feather message popped again

The problem will be getting from that to black.

Anyone have any guidance for hitting Deepwood green from Nophica Green?

This thread is gigantic, so sorry if this has been asked already, but any idea on how to go from Rose Pink to Lotus Pink? I was thinking Doman plums would do the trick.

Anyone have experience in making either an ice blue or Iris Purple from Default? I'm done wasting my FC's fruit chasing the Soot Black Whale and HOPEFULLY my batch of fruit will be done today.

Also, does feeding it a Han Lemon erase any other food you fed it in that time? Would be nice to get back to default by mid day so that I try going either Ice Blue or Iris Purple and see wut I get tonight (fed it some fruit earlier and it's set to change by 6 pm here ... hoping the batch of lemons is done before then).

EDIT- Read that the Han Lemon changes are instant so yeah, just need the Ice Blue or Iris Purple bits.

Have you tried Valfruits?
FC mate only used those and got through different shades of pink.

I'd like to be able to post/help more (sorry to anyone I didn't get back to earlier) buuuut....

"New forum post cannot be made due to either you have reached to your daily limit or your main character's level is not high enough."... Seriously Square-Enix what the Longstop Brayflox!?! >_<

This thread is getting massive, helpful but massive, and I think some of the important info for newcomer's is getting lost. I tried to consolidate some of the key points in this new thread:

Chocobo Dye - The Missing Manual

I'll still try to assist as much as the forum system will allow but just know that if I get asked a question and don't respond it's likely due to "you have reached to your daily limit". @_@
