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

I wanna try n get mine Hunter Green. So far fed 5 lighten red. (Plums is it?) I'll share results after the 6 hours.

That looks like it's getting close to white there... Maybe a screenshot of the actual bird rather than just the UI?

According to the scale, it was a [-36, -17, +50] change from eight O'ghomoro Berries.

Guess it'd be just too darned much to ask them (SE) to tell us for sure how to do it? *sigh*

I don't mind the grind, I just want to know HOW to do it so I don't waste my time.

Where would be the pioneer fun if SE spoil all the secrets to us?

I'm gonna get in on relaying some info. I have an 1hr and 15mins left to see what color my chocobo will be. From the 6hr mark I just fed it 1 apple. But after reading this topic. And seeing people are able to keep feeding the chocobo anytime during that 6hr period to get varied results, I decided to buy 3 pineapples and 9 more apples for a total of 10 apple.

I am trying to go for the Blood Red color, just for this test and what everyone has posted.. especially that color chart that related to the game:

Now I wait to see if it comes close to that mark.

Gorgeous bird there. And yes, getting close to white. Thanks for the screen!

In case anyones interested I created an artist interpretation of every possible coloured chocobo. Might be of use to anyone on the fence of what colour to aim for. www.superslothdesign.com/chocobo/

I think a huge issue here is that the "lighten/deepen" red/green/blue implies different color mechanics based on how you read it (granted, it implies you'll know which way to read it). For instance, look at the person who used doman plums to go from desert yellow to celeste green. English says doman plum lightens red, other languages say it adds light blue. Isn't that the same thing, if you read correctly? Lift red from yellow in RGB and where do you go? Towards green. Technically it means the same thing, but the wording here is terrible. Replace "lightens" with "lifts" and getting black or white really could be as easy as darkening or lifting the RGB values to move around this chart. I just don't understand if the RGB uses additive or subtractive principles...how do you get to black or white?

So how do you get black? Lighten all hues or darken?
