I'm done for now with Lavender Blue.



My method for this was just feeding O'ghomoro berries until I got one new feathers message, and then waiting until the change 6 hours later.

Desert Yellow > Cork Brown > Ul Brown > Gobbiebag Brown > Shale Brown > Goobbue Grey > Lavender Blue

Amount fed                     | Color           | (RRR, GGG, BBB)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting Color                 | Desert Yellow   | (216, 175,  80) 
+3 O'ghomoro Berries,  3 total | Cork Brown      | (197, 139,  79) 
+1 O'ghomoro Berries,  4 total | Ul Brown        | (178, 157, 105)
+3 O'ghomoro Berries,  7 total | Gobbiebag Brown | (180, 158, 130)
+2 O'ghomoro Berries,  9 total | Shale Brown     | (140, 122, 101)
+2 O'ghomoro Berries, 11 total | Goobbue Grey    | (130, 128, 125)
+3 O'ghomoro Berries, 14 total | Lavender Blue   | (128, 120, 169)

In theory if the change is steady someone could test whether it's amount of fruits or new feathers messages by seeing what happens if they feed O'ghomoro Berries and get the message 6 times? At least if I'm understanding things correctly.

Cream Yellow => Bone White = Feed Plums until you see a "Is growing new feathers" message in your chat log. Wait the time => result should be Bone White

Bone White => Snow White = Feed Plums until you see a "Is growing new feathers" message in your chat log. Wait the time => result should be Snow White

I can confirm this!

Cream Yellow + 1 plum message = Bone White
Bone White + 1 plum message = Snow White

Reddit thread claims that 1 berry from blood red makes dalamund.
So try feeding berries until you get a new plume message, should get you dalamund.

Thank you so much!. fed my 'bo 1 berry and he turned dalamud red. (took 3 total to get the message)

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). He turned Nophica Green!... I now have fed him 1 apple (got message) and one berry (got message). We will see...

[RavinousKurohi]

Alright. So going for midnight blue from desert yellow:

Xelphatol apple to start the timer
2 apples no message
4 apples with message
4 pears with message
25 berries with message
1 apple with message
1 pear with message
1 apple with message
1 pear with message

My thought is that with that many berries I might hit the max blue and having apples and pears before and after will help darken it without losing too much blue.

5 hours left 'till result.

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.

This is the closest thing to a guide I've seen, and makes perfect sense. It also matches with the people progressively making changes and reporting here.

I fed mine one single Mamook Pear yesterday, only got the message that the color will change in 6h, 2 hours later i fed another 5 Mamook Pears, i didn't pay attention to the Chatlog. I went to bed, woke up, my Chocobo is still Yellow. T_T

If it doesn't say it will change feathers then you haven't fed it enough for a change to take place.

My husband's chocobo that we've been tracking carefully. In each case we feed berries until the 1st "new feathers" message.

Starting color: Desert Yellow:
Fed 3 Berries (3 total) : UI Brown
Fed 3 Berries (6 total) => Aldboat Brown
Fed 1 Berry (7 total): => Shale Brown
Fed 2 Berries (9 total) => Gobbue Grey
Fed 2 Berries (11 total) => Lavender Purple (blue)

You ended up with colors we didn't, which strengthens my thought that maybe there is some kind of HQ-type proc on some of the colors. Seems like people would be better off going one step at a time instead of mass feedings.

If that's true, then a tool like this one should solve many problems : https://kuler.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/
