I want to get to Hunter Green. Should I just feed it more Mamook pears? Or do I need to add any other fruits?

You are at 166/171/77 and want to get to 34/68/38. That's a big shift. If I'm right about how things work, you want to focus on Pears to drop the red and the blue, and Berries to slow the blue down and drop the green. You want probably relatively equal quantities of both, but more Pears in the end. But, if I'm right, the amount that the values are dropped is random, so you'll have to re-evaluate when you get to the darker colors. You will likely want some Apples too to speed the drop of all three colors, but less Apples than the rest.

You'll probably go through a bunch of other colors on the way. Meadow Green might be one of the first you hit on your way down. If you hit Adamantoise, Ochu, or Norphica, you want to lessen the Berries and increase the Pears. If you reach Norphica, you have the green exactly where you want it, but too much red and blue. So, just a few Pears and no more Berries should get you there. If you hit Olive Green, it would mean you still have too much Red (feed Pears and Berries equally). If you get Marsh Green, it means you have equal green and red and too little blue (again, Pears+Berries is good, but you might also want to throw in a couple Plums to get the Blue up). If you reach Deepwood Green, you had the right proportions of things, but overshot Hunter Green by lowering the green too much. A few Plums and Pineapples should get the green back up without affecting the other two too much.

So, start with Pears + Berries, and then re-evaluate after some color changes. Don't worry too much about getting random colors on the way, as long as all three values are trending downward, you're on the right track.

Desert Yellow (start) - 6 red, 9 green, 3 blue
Millicorn Yellow -1 red
Coeurl Yellow - 6 red, 6 blue
Pumpkin Orange

So my Coeurl Yellow turned Pumpkin Orange. At least I'm getting closer to Dalamud!
