I just did quick napkin math assuming +/- 5 per fruit, and it looks to me like 1 Pineapple isn't enough, 2 Pineapples has a shot at getting there, and 3 Pineapples would be the best bet. 4 would be too many.

Obviously I'm really not sure at all, but I stuck with 2. I'm thinking its going to be kobold brown, soot black, or possibly deepwood or even marsh green. I really doubt it will be something aside from those 4 possibilities.

Feed him all 3 Pineapples after playing with the RNG on web. From Midnight + 1 Pineapple you go to to Purple or something. Fed him all 3. Lets see So, from Midnight 3 pineapples, got the new feathers 3 times.

time left: 5h 44 mins.

Update: As I thought, 2 pineapple "feather" messages on Midnight Blue gives us Soot Black.

Have fun!

I'm at Apple Green right now, how many of what fruit to get me in the Soot Black range?

[Syrehn]

I'm not sure if this will help anyone who is stuck in the colour loop on their attempt to get Soot Black but it appears that "AttacKat" has revised the RGB numbers on the spreadsheet we've been using:

It's possible doing the math using these new values and adjusting fruit could push the colour looper's into Soot Black; haven't tried this personally though. FOR SCIENCE!

Well, unless I'm missing something, based on the math we should be hitting it based on whats there, just like before. For instance, Kobold Brown [55r] [39g] [31b] with a Doman Plum = [-8r] [+8g] [+8b] which = [47r] [47g] [39b] which is their Soot Black. It also doesn't explain at all why going from say, Ink Blue [31r] [39g] [47b] with a Pineapple = [+8r] [+8g] [-8b] (should = Soot Black numbers) actually equates to Kobold Brown [55r] [39g] [31b]. That is a [+24r] swing, [0g] *same* and [-16b] difference. The numbers just aren't adding up here..

Am I missing something that was explained different in that thread? Honestly, its odd we are looping at all in the first place when you think about it.

Syrehn: According to that excel:

Midnight BLue: 31/31/63
Soot Black: 47/47/39

3 Pineapples = from MB you get: 46/46/48. Damn it, that might do it

And ive got Grape Purple, /ffs!

Can some1 explain how from Midnight BLue: 31/31/63 ive arrived to Grape 63/47/63 according to the last Excel...or Grape Purple 52/36/54 normal Excel with 3 pineapples?

Back to the drawing board. What you think should get me close to Soot Black?

i was at grape purple and then went to currant purple and then got to soot black from there. check my previous comments and you can see how i went from grape to current to soot.
