Can anyone with a Turquoise green or Hunter green take a screenshot in daylight please with no barding? I can't decide if I wanna stay on Apple Green or not.

I can once daylight comes up again

Does look Soot Black and nothing forces him to reveal anything - especially since who cares if people on the internet believe him?

It might be an Ink Blue, which looks like a very dark black and in a dark picture like that Ink blue is so close to black, it would come off black. If it is a true black that would be cool, but atm I know we can get soot black, which is more a dark grey-ish.

A few people in my FC are thinking of going Ink Blue because they want a chocobo that looks black. This guy has a (or did have a) ink blue, looks similar:

Even with the extra photos, I'm willing to bet he's got an Ink Blue.

I agree, in the dark picture it's a close up, looks back. But when it's out in the sun light all the pictures are far off distance. Its very hard to see if it's an actual BLACK or an ink blue. if they were close up in the light we would be able to tell.

Sorry for bad picture quality on the first post.

I cant say what exactly I feed, I feed lots of fruit and combination. I first had a brown chocobo, 2nd time a dark green, 3rd a dark purple and now this one.

I am happy I finally managed it

Don't know if it's black or not but i don't believe it is. I think your attempting to get people to click on your pics to get redirected to that terrible file sharing site that spammed my phone with ads and I wouldn't doubt viruses.

DONT CLICK HIS PICTURES.

I have Ink Blue and I think what was posted is in fact Ink Blue. I hope it's not and that we finally have a confirmed Soot Black. Soot Black normally looks a bit more washed out, however, the Charcoal Gray choco that someone posted looked a lot darker than the Charcoal Grey I would expect so maybe Soot Black really is black black.

Took the confirmed Ink Blue image and his 'black' chocobo into Photoshop and compared them, both images (of course thee will be some difference because of type of picture, light etc...) fall within a dark blue on the RGB hex coding scale, not a black.

I'm pretty certain it is a Ink Blue, not a true "Black", unless he can put up a shot saying that it is black from the companion menu I'm going with Ink Blue.

And I want to note, I'm not saying this to be rude, mean or doubtful. Everyone is trying to get a color that they really want, and if people believe there is a black because if his post, and it turns out to be false information, people might be wasting time, gil and food trying to achieve the impossible due to a false advertisement.

If it is a true black he would have no issues showing us a screenshot of the companion menu, doesn't even have to say HOW he got it, just show it is black.

Been trying for black. This is as close to black as I'm gonna get without actually getting black. So far I've gone from Aldgoat Brown > Abyssal Blue > Midnight Blue > Ink Blue. I think maybe if I up my red a bit I may end up with Soot Black but I'm not sure If I want to this point.

Did you keep a rolling count of what fruits you fed to get to ink blue?

Please open your Companion window in game, and share with us a screenshot of the Appearance tab where it lists the color of your chocobo.
