Starting from scratch, 10 Mamook pears gave me the "new plumes" messages. 6 hours later it was Lime Green.

did it take 10 pears to proc once? or did all 10 proc a feather?

This may be redundant. But I'm currently just using O'Ghomoro Berries. I've been only adding food until a new feathers message appears.

Desert Yellow (starting) +4 OB > Cork Brown
Cork Brown +1 OB > Ul Brown
Ul Brown +3 OB > Gobbiebag Brown
Gobbiebag Brown +1 OB > ??? (currently growing)

I just added three Doma plums (two messages) to the Honey yellow.
Curious now!

+R8, +G10, -B20? 8 10 20 its the key for one feather change?

I think the color theory is more/or maybe less complex than just comparing the exact RGB numbers. If the colors were arranged on a color wheel chart based on the position of their RGB and then compared on their value and distance between other colors, I believe it would be easier to see in which direction to change the coloring with the corresponding foods.


I wanted a Turquoise Green chocobo to begin with.

My first color change I ended up with Sky Blue because I fed it a lot of plums and had several feather change messages. (I didn't keep track because I was following the 28 berries = Celeste Green). This means I went from the original RGB value of R216, G175 B80 (Desert Yellow) to R124, G171, B207 (Sky Blue) = -R92, -G4, +B127

My second attempt I had no feather messages even though I fed it a lot of food and ended up with no color change.

My third attempt I went from Sky blue to Raptor blue using Berries (1 feather). R124, G171, B207 (Sky Blue) to R84, G120, B188 (Raptor Blue) = -R40, -G51, -B19

My fourth attempt I went from Raptor Blue to Peacock Blue by using Berries (5 feather), Pears (8 feather), and apples (1 feather). (deepen blue, deepen green, deepen red). This means I went from R84, G120, B188 (Raptor Blue) to R52, G97, B127 (Peacock Blue) = -R32, -G23, -B61

My fifth attempt. I knew I was close to Turquoise Green once I landed on Peacock Blue. There was maybe one shade difference and I knew I needed a little more green to push it away from blue. I fed pears until I got one feather message and finally got my Turquoise chocobo. R52, G97, B127 (Peacock Blue) to R60, G107, B107 (Turquoise Green) = +R8, +G10, -B20.

I got the message once after 10 pears.

So, from charcoal gray I am trying to get soot black. Last night I fed my chocobo 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), 1 Xelphatol Apple (got the message), and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (no message for either). I ran out of O'Ghomoro Berries. This morning, there was no change. So now I have fed him 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (got the message), 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), and 2 Xelphatol Apples (got the message). I will report if getting the message on all 3 makes a difference.

1) you can't tell anything by that terrible picture.
2) you didn't post a picture of the companion tab
3) you didn't post how you got there.

no one is going to believe you until you follow through on steps two and three.

Not asking for exact quantities of each fruit, but what colors did you end up doing through before hitting black?
