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

Starting Colour: Mesa Red
118R 51G 4B

Desired Colour: Wine Red
62R 17G 14B

I would try the following "Darkener" combo:

x5 Pear
x9 Beries
x3 Apple

This combo should result in an RGB of around 63R 16G 9B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should push you into Wine Red range. Remember your mileage may vary. For Science!

Thank you so much. I'll try this when I get home! I appreciate the help

I'm at Shadow Blue now, I seem to be jumping around the color sheet but all of my color changes have resulted in really dark shades so I'd imagine I'm still not too far off. Still going for soot black could someone please give me some advice on where to go from here? Would greatly appreciate it.

Finally landed at Slate Grey, I feel like I'm so close! Now it's just a question of what do I feed him next to try for black, 10 of each lightening fruit? Please help, I don't want to mess this up and end up 5 steps backwards =X

Lightening fruits would take you the opposite direction of soot black. you want to feed it I think 10-15 of each darkening fruits may be a good start. Although its assumed right now that you get somewhere between (+/- 5-10) per fruit. so 10 should be a good starting point

Thanks! Got confused with values, was thinking I needed to lower numbers and therefore lightening fruits. Just fed 9 apples, 9 pears, 10 berries. Fingers crossed

So from Othard Blue I fed 6 Apples to get the next feathers are growing message and the final result was Royal Blue. Guessing I got a high quality proc since the expected result was Storm Blue.

Here's mine! Apple Green!

Trying to get to Lotus Pink reliably, like many others. Thus far, I've figured out Snow White and some ugly, sickly-looking pastels.

I've stopped at the first feather-change message each time. (Not skipping any colors.)

From Desert Yellow, 5 Doman Plum -> Cream Yellow
From Cream Yellow, 3 Doman Plum -> Bone White
From Bone White, 2 Doman Plum -> Sylph Green
From Sylph Green, 3 Doman Plum -> Snow White
From Snow White, 1 O'gho Berries -> Sylph Green
From Sylph Green, 1 Valfruit -> Snow White

Hopefully this info helps someone. (Looking at you, guy making helpful chart.)

This actually very helpful!
This plus that chart makes me pretty damn sure I'm one feeding away from Snow or Ice.
