I just got to PLUM PURPLE while attempting to get to Charcoal Grey

If I may ask Resolute, what fruits did you apply to get to Mole Brown. I guess I could then do the same as you did adding the 3 Mamook Pears, 2 Xelphatol Apples, and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries to get to Charcoal Grey

I fed my chocobo 1 Xelphatol Apple, 1 O'Ghomoro Berry, and 4 Mamook Pear to get Mole Brown. Sorry, but I didn't track how many feather change messages I got on that one. But I figured I would try to add green from purple, since red and blue makes purple. That got me to mole brown.

UPDATE: I am trying to get to soot black. After getting plum purple and then mole brown, I fed my chocobo 3 Mamook Pears, 2 Xelphatol Apples, and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries. I got the color change msg on the second apple and the second berry, no message on the pears. That got him to charcoal gray!



What do you guys think I should do to get black? Just try to get a feather message for each darkening fruit?

One of each fruit should do it, isn't charcoal grey right under soot black?

PS: That bird already looks awesome.

That is what I was thinking too. OR, maybe I need a feather change message per each color of fruit? Not real sure. Sry, double post.

Honestly, I'd take this color over Soot Black. Then again, Soot Black might go better with the Sleipner barding.

I fed my Chocobo 21 berries (darken blue) and got 19 feather messages. I got Lavender Purple.

Midnight Blue -> Kobold Brown -> Midnight Blue

welll I found the reverse method to go back a step at least.. lol

(Sorry night time I know. I don't have time to sit around till morning to get a better picture)

From bone white, it was a handful of valfruit, plums, and pineapples in no particular order or amount to reach snow white. I probably overshot the mark by a few fruit. If these fruits added pigment as well as subtracting as you all seem to believe, I should not have gotten white, but some other color.

I AM STILL CONVINCED that many of you are laboring under a false assumption that these foods +one color while - two other colors.

I really think it is much more simple than that.

To get soot black you should only need to balance out the three colors at the fullest saturation point you can reach. Logic dictates that you do the same process to get black as you do white only reversed. For white it is removing color, for black, adding it.

You should never need to use valfruit, pineapples, or plums to get black. In theory.

The problem is, it doesn't work in practice how it should work in theory, correct? I think we're all missing something important here, but I don't think it's something complex.

Ok so I did the google doc thing that said Dalamud red and got Sunset Orange. Then I fed it 10 more apples till the message said it was growing new feathers, then it turned Blood Red. Now if I wanted to go for Dalamud red what seems like the best way to go from Blood Red to Dalamud Red?

Ignore the doc, we already know it's wrong. Amount of fruits is not how it works. Two people may feed same and get different results. It's about the changing feathers message which indicate success in color taking/changing, but still working on the specifics.

Right I guess what I was getting at was I gathered as much the docs weren't working so I was wondering what people think I should feed it now to go from Blood Red to Dalamud Red, like which fruits just apple?

Seems like a lot of RNG is effecting ppl so I don't want to lose red completely, I just want a more vibrant red ^_^
