There are no metallic chocobo colors yet.

Just to expand a bit on what LadyVal said above, none of the speciality dyes exist yet for your chocbo. So not just metallics but Pure White/Black and all pastels are unavailable.

Damn it all, the Shale Brown algorithm on http://ffxivchocobo.com/en is off!
Followed the calculator completely and ended up with Aldgoat Brown.
Now my chocobo looks just kind of... Sweaty rather than a silky, smokey silver.

It is not that the algorithm is wrong. The thing you have to realize anytime you are dying a bird is that you can get "good" and "poor" procs on the food. there is also the question of whether you were alternating food or not. If you were not alternating you could have over saturated one color and got off in that manner. You just have to now change the start color to your current color to see what additional feeding is needed.

There's a random element. Recalculate after color changes and keep going. Will eventually hit right color. Think took me 6-8 sessions to get right color on old account

Been actively checking stuff and no Soot Blacks have been done yet as far as i know.

Yeah, i realize that, i've just been following this This document and according to the values that i'm now believing are pulled out of someone's behind, i should've landed just either shy off of Soot black or atleast near the color, but coeurl yellow? Cmon. ._.

I think what fruits get fed first/second/third as well as how many feed cycles were needed to gain a colour likely factor into these RNG colour equations.
