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

So if i want my peacock blue chocobo to fade a lil' and become sky blue, is it safe to assume it's okay to feed it just pineapples?

Any Void Blues yet? Need your formula if you have it. Thanks!

Edit: Wait, I got what you were trying to say. So, how did you apply this to your chocobo? Did you get the 'feathers' message? Details please?

You've completely lost me on that.. how about in English for us dummies? :P

Basically it's saying:

Plum - Lightens red hues but at the same time increases green and blue hues.
Apple - Deepens red hues but at the same time lessens green and blue hues.
Valfruit - Lightens green hues but at the same time increases red and blue hues.
Pear - Deepens green hues but at the same time lessens red and blue hues.
Pineapple - Lightens blue hues but at the same time increases red and green hues.
Berries - Deepens blue hues but at the same time lessens red and green hues.

If this is true, then feeding my chocobo a Valfruit or 20, from honey yellow, should make him purple or red?

Think it'd make it go from yellow to orange to pink.

If you click the link you'll get the color chart. I had given my chocobo all 3 fruits to start off with in an attempt to get white and this led to bone white which made it look like it had cancer. It also happened to still be a bit heavy on the yellow side. Then the next time i gave it more pineapple based solely on speculation and this turned it back to a deeper yellow, cream yellow. So in order for it to turn a deeper yellow and not just max out at white it means that green and red sliders had to increase while the blue slider decreased. To cancel that out I gave him a rotation of valfruit>plum>valfruit>plum 10 of each and I ended up with white.

I didn't want to trade him all one color then all the next because if i were to hit a color cap and then trade the other fruit it would skew the slider depending on the last fruit I fed it.

Okay, that makes sense, thank you both!

Hasn't been put up on the spreadsheet yet, but I got Midnight Blue from:

Xelphatol Apple x32, Mamook Pear x15, O'Ghomoro Berries x22

All at once in that order.

This was supposed to be the recipe for Dalamud Red according to someone else, so it's beginning to look like it has more to do with how many times it says they're growing new feathers rather than an exact amount of fruit. People should start posting that instead.
