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

I'm trying to do this as well. At this point I've fed it 15+ pears and gotten zero feather messages, so I assume that's not the correct path? Any ideas? It seems like it would need to deepen all the values but I must be doing it wrong...

You need to deepen everything equally.

You are at Turquoise Green (71, 119, 119)
You want to get to Morbol Green (31, 71, 71)
----------
Berry x 9 (-> 26, 74, 164)
Apple x 10 (-> 76, 24, 114)
Pear x 9 (-> 31, 69, 69)
----------
Difference from Morbol Green: 0, 2, 2

Tried this as well, as Digitalglass said, had troubles with pears :

Berries 9 (11)
Apples 10 (10)
Pears 9 (17, I managed to feed him 8 pears then no proc for 8, then last pears proc.. Hope that won't lead me onto troubles)

Re: Midnight Blue to Soot Black

For both:
pineapple 2
apple 2
pear 2

Will land you at 6 6 6 away from perfect soot black, if your values are consistent, it will be soot black for sure, most have gotten it with worse variance above 10.

Fed 2 pineapple, got 1 feather change message on 2nd pineapple
Fed 2 apples, no change messages
Fed 2 pears, change message on both.

Now to wait 6 hours again

How would I get to Soot Black from Ochu Green? Keep dancing around that and Hunter Green, can't seem to shift away from those two.

Alright, after morbol green I fed 1x valfruit and got shadow blue.

Any advice for shadow blue -> soot black?

I've fed x1 pineapple, apple, berry, pear right now but if anyone has a reason to think that's unwise I can stop it and feed something else. I've got until about 8:30 pm EST. Please advise!

For both:

pineapple 2
apple 2
pear 2

Will land you at 6 6 6 away from perfect soot black, if your values are consistent, it will be soot black for sure, most have gotten it with worse variance above 10.

I gave him in this order:
1 pineapple (feathers) 1 pineapple (feathers)
1 apple (feathers) 1 apple (feathers)
1 pear (feathers) 1 pear (feathers)

Message of feathers growing all times. I hope this work. I spent a lot of time :S.
Thx for help Esutiben.

Trying to go from Dalamud Red to Soot Black. Anyone have any ideas how to do that?

[Aruiya]

Also came here looking for advice. I've seen various people reach Abyssal Blue, but the tips didn't really work out for me. I don't have all my steps written down but most of my frustrations comes from these latest.

Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (? feeds)
Gloom Purple
+ 1 berry (? feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (? feeds)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (? feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (2 feeds)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (2 feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 apple (1 feed)
Regal Purple
+ 1 berry (2 feeds)
Royal Blue
+ 1 pineapple (1 feed)
+ 1 apple (1 feed)
Regal Purple

I'm not sure at all what to try to feed my chocobo now or if I should reset his color to start again.

EDIT: Fed him 5 berries and 5 pears going by the rgb values in calculator - each of the feeds got new feathers message. I really hope ths brings me to Abyssal Blue. I have followed calculator with the pineapple and apple previously already though and the current guess was Abyssal blue then as well...

what do i need to feed it to get it to bark brown?

[Charybdis]

Was hoping to get some possible help. Tried going for the White or Snow White color, fed per the spreadsheet and it came out Lotus Pink. Should I just be feeding the fruit to lessen the red and it'd be fine or is there something else to get to the white?

Any help appreciated, thanks!
