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

No one has discovered soot black yet or snow white

I think those are pretty straight forward but expensive, like, +50 of light and dark fruits for each. Maybe even +100

someone got slate gray with O'Ghomoro Berry x21, Xelphatol Apple x7, Mamook Pear x7

This link is pretty helpful with what combo's have gotten so far

what?? you can dye chocobos?

Can't help it but..."dying" has a completely different meaning from "dyeing"
Personally I prefer them Kentucky fried.

Just wanted to post pictures of my Chocobo, I'm happy with him, I don't think I'll change him! He is Orthard Blue color.

Fed my bird 11 apples to get Millioncorn Yellow. Now he's a brighter yellow.

Great, I thought the theory was to lighten in order to get black?

Okay, just woke up.

From millicorn yellow, feeding 6 momook pears gave me Couerl Yellow (192, 129, 3).

Going to feed some more pears till it gives feather message. As this seems like a good route to Soot Black (37, 35, 30)

Gottaa bring that red down a whole lot more, then ill gradually add and take away to get the green and blue numbers ^^

So, it took 8 pears to get the message to pop..... now we wait.

So I was reading up on every ones ideas on how this chocobo color change works and decided to tinker with it myself. I have been trying to apply the math to others found colors and what they are reporting they used. From what I am figuring out seems pretty close, but I am sure I am missing / overlooking a variable or two. I have been using Paints custom colors to try the figures out in and the colors come very close to matching.

Red = 255 / 85 = 3
Green = 255 / 85 = 3
Blue = 255/ 85 = 3

So 3 Fruit = 255 of one color
2 Fruit = 170
1 Fruit = 85

So you have Lighten fruit which would mean -85 and darken fruit which would mean + 85

That being said if you where to use a (lightens blue = -85 blue) on your desert yellow chocobo you would get a honey yellow chocobo.
Honey Yellow = Red 255 Green 255 Blue 0.

If you where to use a (lightens red = -85 red) you would get a shade of green.
Anyway I need more feedback to prove or disprove my theory. [Please assist.]

Seems like the amount of snacks needed isn't set in stone. I fed my Chocobo 28 Doman plums, hoping to get Celeste Green like someone reported, and got Sky Blue instead.

I'll add a few Mamook Pears and hopefully that will make it Celeste Green.

Edit: I fed my Chocobo 8 more Doman Plums and 10 Mamook Pears, and didn't get the 'Feathers have started to change colour' even once. Any ideas before I waste more snacks?
