I ve done a fortran program that find the optimal type and number of fruit.
Sometime it give an reduced number of fruit compared to what I found in this thread, or in others sources. Sometimes it doesn't, because I need a large number of sample (>1Billion) to find the best combination.
If you want I can try to give you some path. This would be useful to benchmark my code

It work well with very large gap between the original RGB and the final one. If the difference is small you can do it yourself easily by using the google spreadsheet.
You can also made minor adjustement after I give you the results, because like someone said a couple a fruit cancel out and I didn't implement that yet in the program.
This is totally based on the RGB theory, so it may not be 100% accurate.

For example my result for total number of fruit needed to go from Original color to Hunter green is 69 whereas we found 72 on https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...view?sle=true#

I'm at Marsh Green, and I did what i've seen several people have had success with (2 berries and 1 apple) to get to black each had the feathers message, however now that the 6hours are over I didn't get a change no cutscene either etc. Any other ideas of what I should feed?

White should be pretty easy because it appears to be on the red color axis.

Start over by feeding your chocobo a lemon to reset it to Desert Yellow. Feed it only plums until you get a feather change message and you should get sylph green. Feed it plums again until you get a message. This should turn it show white. I believe this has worked for others pretty consistently.

Do I have to start over? Theres no way I can go from Colibri Pink to Snow White?

Midnight blue is a lighter shade of blue than ink blue. Midnight blue also has balanced levels of green & blue, while ink blue has a slightly elevated green value (midway between red & blue). And since you've been switching between rolanberry red & blue, your red is probably a little high too.

My suggestion is to feed it 1 apple and 2 pears to slightly drop red, slightly increase green and drop your blue values down by a bit. This should hopefully get you in (or close to) the ink blue range.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've been trying for so long and this worked! Went from midnight blue to my coveted ink blue. For anyone in the same position, I followed this suggestion and fed 2 pears and 1 apple (getting the new feather proc only on feeding the last apple).
