Suddenly I'm very glad I didn't go for Soot Black...Seems pretty generic now = ( I went instead for a dark green and found a perfect one. I can't recall what it is, but it ain't Hunter. It's a bit more natural looking. Anyway, it's frigging perfect and fairly unique. Fed it half the amount of red for every blue and green....maybe a touch more than half.

Go check out the FAQ section in microfeeding. I updated it with how to handle this issue.

i had done the previous feeding 1 fruit at a time, and alternating fruits, so as not to push a single rgb value too far in any direction, but i didn't do the math to see which order was best for feedings.

i've looked at the color calculator spreadsheet before but for some reason, this is the first time it actually worked for me. previously none of the values would change regardless of what i typed into the fruits column. i'll give it another go soon here and see what happens. oddly, typing the values straight into the spreadsheet from the calculator shows a morbol green result with no microfeedings necessary. maybe it will work this time.

thanks for pointing out the faq/microfeeding stuff.

I kinda agree with the black, everyone around Tonberry had a black chocobo at first, but i think the novelty is wearing off (i had dalamud red, storm blue, regal purple), and there are tons of colors now that everyone gets sick of it.
SOoooooooooooo i'm going for black now :P

I'm looking for the easiest way to get Grape/Currant Purple Chocobo can anyone tell me what combination of foods and which color will get the quickest results if known?

I'm not sure if this is the easiest way or not to get currant purple; But for me this worked

1)From regal purple: 3berries, 1 apple, 1 valfruit =abyssal blue
2)From Abyssal blue: 4apples =Rolanberry red
3)From Rolanberry red: 3berries, 6pears, 1plum =Midnight blue
4)Midnight blue: 4pineapples =Currant purple

If you want to know how I got Regal purple from dessert yellow, let me know!

Adamantoise Green. Was looking for a darkish, not-gaudy green. Soon as I saw it--BAM. Inserting an image here ain't as easy as just pullin git off my comp, so I'm not gonna bother. But look for it. It's awesome.

Does anyone actually have any concrete directions on how many apples/pears/berries to feed to reach Morbol Green?

There is no concrete path (to my knowledge) to any colour; there is always a margin of error in feeding suggestions. The FFXIV Chocobo Calculator comes in pretty close to all the manual calculations that I've done.

Hi, calculator says: 1 × Pears, 3 × Pineapples, 4 × Apples. Which is different to what you posted.

However, if its a typo in your post and you gave it what the calculator said. I would usually suggest that if it didn't give a feather message by the end. To give an extra fruit starting from the highest. For example, in this case an extra apple, if you still don't get a message then an extra pineapple and repeat until you do get a message. Hope this helps.
