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

[Zaes]

Update: I went from Ink Blue to Deepwood Green after feeding:

2x Plum (2 messages)
2x Pineapple (2 messages)
1 Valfruit (1 message)

I am still desperately trying to get to Grape Purple could someone PLEASE give me the formula because I read other people's things and really just confuse myself more.

I've gone through over like 10 colors and a lot of hours trying to inch my way to my color of choice.

I'm pretty new to this thing. How much fruit would I need and how would I go about feeding to get a desert yellow chocobo to kobold brown? I tried looking at the spreadsheets but I don't really see all the much information on how to achieve this color in one go. Would one of you chocobo dyeing guros be willing to help a novice out?

Did you get the growing new feathers message?

Yes I did.

[Desidious]

Just a quick update.

Cactuar Green -> fed berries until new feathers
Torquoise Green -> fed 1 pear with new feather message

Keep in mind I went back to Cactuar green from torquoise green by using an apple until I got the feather message.

Waiting to see the results.

Starting Colour: Deepwood Green
25R 36G 28B

Desired Colour: Grape Purple
52R 36G 54B


You could give this combo a try:

x5 Valfruit
x2 Pineapple
x2 Plum

This combo should result in an RGB of around 50R 31G 53B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should push you into the dark purple range; it might take some additional tweaking to hit Grape Purple. Remember your mileage may vary.

P.S: There's really not an exact formula for the colours.
P.P.S: It's late here and I'm hoping my napkin math isn't off. Don't hate me if you don't get exactly Grape Purple.

Edit:

- I changed the above combo from my original reply as had the wrong RGB listed for Grape Purple; sorry it's late here and I typed it in wrong the first time. I hope you saw my "wait i'm re-calculating" message before you fed. >.<

I'll give this a try, and that is exact #'s of fruits and not feathers messages?

The above is the number of fruits to feed and not specifically the feather messages. By feeding the above you should see at least 1 if not multiple feather messages.

Starting Colour: Deepwood Green


You could give this combo a try:

x9 Valfruit
x6 Pineapple
x2 Plum

You essentially need to push your RED/BLUE way up and your GREEN down a tad. This combo should result in an RGB of around 90R 31G 53B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should push you into the darker purple range; not sure if it will hit Grape purple (might need additional tweaking). Remember your mileage may vary.
