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

I had Midnight blue a while back before i was stuck in my horrible Ink Blue - Deepgreen loop phase.

When I had midnight blue i used 2 of every darkening fruit, (1 pear 1 apple 1 berry 1 pear 1 apple 1 berry) and then follow up with one extra Berry at the end to ensure you are deepest in the blue value (7 fruits total)

Using the other fruits to balance the R and G value will make your Blue darker, and using the extra berry at the end should ensure your blue value is prominent over the other two leading to an Ink Blue.

Remember its not 100% so it may even be soot black XD.. but thats easy to change soot black with 1 berry = ink blue almost guaranteed Good luck!... I know i need it.

That's awesome, thank you! Should I be taking it back to it's normal yellow before trying to give it 2 of every fruit? Or can I try this from where it is currently (Royal Blue)? Oh and good luck with your colours!!

Damn! Once again followed the simulator and ended up with Hunter Green from Regal Purple, wanna get to soot black, any experts around?

Quick question :0
One of the sheets says that I only need 1 berry (message) to get from cactuar green to turquoise. If I want to change/switch between these two, which fruit do I have to feed if I want to go back to cactuar green?
Thanks in advance!


EDIT: Might this be pineapple? Please correct me @.@

Okay...this calculator is a little confusing to me this early in the morning, but it looks like 20 berries 4 apples 8 pears should get my other chocobo to slate grey? Surely there's a combination with less berries but fiddling around with it I just keep ending up on a brown or purple. Hope I grow enough berries for it.

5 berries gave ul brown followed by 5 apples gave me cork brown followed by 5 valfruit to give me coral pink.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to go from Rolanberry Red to Soot Black? I'd assume berries, but I don't want to over shoot and end up with Royal Blue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I decided to deviate from single fruit feeds as I seemed to be looping through Currant Purple, Marsh Green or Deepwood Green. So, I used the calculator from this thread to see if that would help get me to Soot Black.
Starting at Marsh Green (I had tried the feeding Berry only and ended up with Deepwood Green from that previously) I have fed 2 berries, 1 apple, 1 pear.
This shows as taking the RGB from 55, 63, 39 to 45, 53, 39 (goal being 47, 47, 39). Bit worried about the green value but it gives a colour estimate of Soot Black so crossing my fingers for the result in 1hr 20mins now.
Putting in 2 berries only did give an estimate of Soot Black but the value was 45, 53, 49 and I was concerned with the Blue showing as +10 over the approx. RGB value. I hope this works lol. At least with 2 colours in the range so close and only a little over with green it's got to be on the right track surely? >.>
Although.... now I'm wondering if I should feed another apple to get 50, 48, 34 arghhhhhh!!

Oh the irony........ Deepwood Green again.
Any help getting from Deepwood Green to Soot Black would be appreciated XD

Ok it is now nearly 2am and my brain is fuzzy, but I have gone with 1x Valfruit (although no message for new growth) and 1x Pineapple. This should supposedly put me at 41, 47, 39 (if the valfruit does count)... who knows anymore lol
Going to bed, looking forward to seeing my sky blue pink chocobo in the morning.

Oh, to Lamire above- I went to Shadow Blue from Currant Purple at one point in this big loop I seem to be stuck in after feeding 2 pears. Don't know if that helps... (new growth message after each one)

Well the 1x Valfruit and 1x Pineapple worked... all I can say is finally!
