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

I just got my first color change and after i feed 12 berries, 6 apples and 6 pears I went from stock color to Qiquirn Brown. I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions as to what I should feed it next to get closer to Soot black.

Regards

Update: I fed him 20 berries and 10 pears. Lets see what I get in 5 hrs

Feed it Fruit to push the magenta hues up (or to remove the green to give you red and blue hues)
and then Berries to drive it purple.

How certain are you though? Because looking at the RGB values of both Ink blue is R22 G26 B34 and Grape is R52 G36 B54. I've gone through such a mix of colors I'm just afraid of throwing myself even farther away because these values are definitely the closest I've gotten. I was originally thinking I have to lighten blue and red and keep green close to the same but given the list I have written down I feel like I'm going through this process backwards thinking.

Either way, so glad this is done with. I was losing my sanity. Thank you to everyone here who has contributed to the discussion and research of Chocotology.

Awesome!!! Congrats! Looks great.

Oh I know your pain. I have been doing that with achieving rolanberry. But this handy dandy site hasn't failed me yet! (with baby steps i am getting closer.) http://colorizer.org/

Put in your RGB values in the left for the color your bird is now ( i used the ink blue 22 26 34). Move the Magenta slider in the CYMK section toward the magenta, then move the blue up in the RGB. The box at the bottom should be a purple hue yes?

So if we know:

Red= Apples/Green= Pears/Blue = Berries
Plums = Cyan/Fruit= Magenta/Pineapple = yellow.

if you boosted the magenta feed it Fruit.
if you Boosted blue feed it berries.

I used this to go from pumpkin to Sunset and Sunset to dalamud. Mostly because again with out knowing what exact amount to feed to push it the the color world you are the mercy of color RNG!

Also Yes, well aware there is a rolanberry formula...however, when i started there was not one!

You could be conservative and just deepen everything a couple times with Apple/Pear/Berry x2. Your ratios will still be off but everything will be closer to your target.

Edit - Bah...completely wrote the opposite of what I meant. You would want to LIGHTEN with Pineapple/Valfruit/Plums. Again, this would knock your colors closer you to your target (green might be spot on and then you'd only need to tinker with blue and red).

Wouldn't deepening put me at all lower numbers than I already am?

Yep! I meant lighten, sorry. Do what I mean, not what I say!
