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

[Phreek]

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?

Lilac Purple



I thought I fed my Chocobo 11 O'Ghomoro berries, but I may have ended up feeding it 12 by accident.

Is Lilac Purple even a dye?
Yes it is. I'm stupid.

And theres a monkeywrench in some of our theories. Lilac Purple isn't a dye color in the game but apparently it's a chocobo color.

Lilac Purple is in the game. It's from the Sahagin Vendors.

Oh yeah. You're right. I missed it. (Putting it in the reds isn't fair)

Good thing. That worried me that their might be even more colors that we'd have to figure out :P

My choco's dye job has inspired me to darken my highlights. We match even more @_@
