The hell? After bouncing back and forth between Abyssal Blue and Rolanberry Red, I just jumped from Royal Blue to Midnight Blue... Not that I'm complaining (since I've been trying to get to Midnight Blue for a couple of days now), but this is confusing as hell. Hopefully I don't lose this route and I can go to Kobold Brown, then Soot Black from here though. I wish it was as simple as just feeding it a specific fruit and getting a color instead of everyone getting different results, despite feeding it the same damn thing in the same quantity no less =3=

Got my Chocobo to Snow White today
started out from the default

> Desert Yellow
+ around 7 plums until feathers message
> Sylph Green
+ 9 plums until feathers message
> Celeste Green

I looked at the RGB-Values for Celeste Green the Blue was right but Red and Green were too low so I guessed that my blue was probably a bit higher than needed I fed it 15+ plums after all

Solution: Pineapple

+ 1 pineapple until feathers message
> back to Sylph Green
+ 2 Pineapples until feathers message
> Snow White

From what I've gathered each fruit you feed adds to the values until the color actually changes and you get the message. However the amount that is added/substracted is random (there is probably a certain range that it falls into but inside that range it's random, only my speculation). Because of that using only one type of fruit and stopping after the first message is, in my opinion at least, the best method to get to your desired color.

And now someone please tell me what color this is, it looks beautiful *_*

You can't get that color on your companion chocobo.
That's the legacy chocobo.

Trying so hard to get Shadow Blue as well, going off other people's experiences (mostly on the way to soot black :P) and some of my own experimentation. I'm on my ninth feed now. Last was sitting at Midnight Blue (which I'm currently waiting to see what 6 apples (1 proc) and 1 pear (proc) does.

This has been my journey so far: Acorn Brown > Regal Purple > Nophica Green > Currant Purple > Deepwood Green > Ink Blue > Void Blue > Midnight Blue

Wish I could help (was a Regal at one point too), but obviously I'm having some trouble getting there myself.

Yeah.... I really hope someone replies to me, since there are no guides to getting shadow blue out there. Alinah's chart doesn't have shadow blue placed anywhere on it, and the spreadsheet doesn't have a recipe for it. I have seen a lot of people getting shadow blue on the way to soot black, but no one seems to know how to explain to get there.

Help us out guys! ^^
