Once the "New Feathers" message has appeared, future feedings will result in the "New Feathers" message happening every time even if there is not a second dye shift, because the new color is still different from the old one. Supporting Evidence: Every feeding after a message appears results in another message appearing.

I can confirm this to be false.

Then you went back to your current color from a new color. Did you stop when you did not have a message as the last thing, and did the color still change? If I'm right, the color would not have changed in that case. If I'm wrong, it still would have.

I suppose it may have gone back to the old color if I was in a range where there were few dye colors to chose from. However, it happened while I was feeding only pears and apples. I didn't stop on a fruit with no message though.

I'm back at Hunter Green and I need to get to soot black... Anyone have any suggestions on what to feed next?

I suggest:

Apples x3
Berries x2

Again, start feeding berries or apples until you see a feather message. Count that towards the above. After that, continue to count ONLY fruits that yield the new feathers message towards the above recipe. Also, make sure the stable condition is Good.

I need someone to get the feathers changing message, then go "backwards," not get the message, and stop. I described in my post how you can go "backwards" with a single snack by altering the color balance, then restoring the color balance to what it was. Unfortunately, (if I'm right) this is very hard to trigger on purpose...
