if you havent already obtained iris purple,. try feeding it a pineapple till you get the message.
this is going off of my FC member who has iris purple, trying to get lavender (my color) with one more berry. if he obtains lavender, that means the pineapple will bring the values up to iris. good luck!

Hello there,

Since a moment I'm trying to get my currant purple.
I read a lot of that topic since a few days and so, following my instinct at first, I managed to get from Desert Yellow :

Coral pink -> 7 valfruits + 9 apples + 10 berries
Regal purple -> 11 berries
Royal Blue -> 6 berries + 1 apple
Regal purple -> 7 apples
Gloom purple -> 1 mamook pear
Abyssal blue -> 1 mamook pear + 1 apple + 1 berries

So now that I am at this stage I request your help as the RGV values are pretty close from Abyssal blue to Currant Purple and I would like to avoid messing everything up.

Abyssal blue : R43 G39 B80
Currant Purple : R44 G38 B52

My instinct is saying 2 deepen green + 2 deepen red
Does any of you have an idea of what I should feed my birdy ?

so you started with desert yellow and gave him: plum, plum, plum (feather message), wait 6h, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum, plum (feather message), wait 6h

and got white?

Yeah! Except I made a mistake, the first feed was 5 not 3, but I think it's just a random chance to get the message and the amount doesn't matter.

Was Coral Pink, added 2 Apples and 1 Berry. Only 1 of the Apples triggered the feather message, the Berry triggered too.
So 1 Apple + 1 Berry with feather proc = Sunset Orange.
Theorically speaking, then, adding 3+ feather proc on each (Apple and Berry) should give me Rolanberry Red?
Any suggestions?

Following the above example, it went from Sunset Orange to Blood Red.
I gave it several Berries until I got 1 feather proc.
Will update later with new color.

Result was Dalamud Red.

From Desert Yellow with a Fair Stable Condition I got Lavender Purple after feeding it around 15 Berries with 12 Feather Messages.

Yesterday I gave my chocobo five apples, three of them procced. Woke up the next day to a milicorn yellow chocobo.

Today I gave my chocobo 19 apples, and 10 of them procced. Later I ended up with a pumpkin orange chocobo.

I'm trying for a dalamund red chocobo, so hopefully I'm on the right path. ^_^

Also, my friend tried for a snow white chocobo so, he fed his chocobo eight plums, and three of them procced. He ended up with a slyph green chocobo.

ok so with my personal experience, every new fruit after we get a "feathers change" message will result in the same message (because no matter how many fruits you add, the feathers are already going to change from original).

with that, the only precise experiments that we can do is when we only get one message.


as for me, 10 apples, 10 berries (in that order), messages from 3rd apple, and the result in coral pink. I gave it 2 more apples for a "more red" result (message at 2nd), will update in 6 hours with the precise coral pink => more red result

I'll welcome any idea on how to make it red dalamud on single messages steps

Feed #1 - Honey Yellow

• Cieldalaes Pineapple x3

Result = Honey Yellow

* It took 3 Pineapples before the "Grows New Feathers" message appeared.

also, my GF followed this exactly (pineapples until 1 message) and got the exact same result.

Desert yellow => pineapple => honey yellow seems confirmed

My steps so far:

Step 1: 2 apples went to millioncorn yellow (message of feathers changing appeared at second feed)

Step 2: 12 apples did nothing (mesage about changing feathers did not appear and i ran out of feed)

Step 3: 2 apples and then 1 valfruit (message about changing happened only once feeding the valfruit - possible that you must feed them a different fruit each step?) went to pumpkin orange

Step 4: 5 valfruit and then 3 apples (message appeared at first apple) went to sunset orange

My personal feeling here is that you need only two fruits per step for a change, but one of those must be different to the last fruit you fed them. Anyone else get that feeling?

nope, my gf got her message in 2 pineapples. Also, pumpkin => sunset has been confirmed with 1 apple message only, sorry but your valfruit got to waste :/

edit: just fed 4 valfruits, 2 apples and 3 berries. message appeared twice during the berry feeds. it may be possible to jump colors

Hello!
Since the colours are so close to eachother it makes it a tricky one;
I would try something like:
2 apples
2 pineapples
2 pears
1 Berry

Which should bring it to R44 G34 B54, or about that number I hope.
Since red and green are the corretc value atm, you need to focus on bringing down blue, whilst evening out red/green so it doesn't get lower or higher.
If you try it, say the result please, good luck!

Blood Red > Regal Purple

Well I'm taking a step backwards since last round I was Regal Purple > Blood Red. My goal is still more of a grape purple but not quite sure what to do next.
