Nope. Mine is still honey yellow. After getting five total messages that the feathers will change, there has been no change. I should have grown Han lemon's with the first batch. :/

Anyone know how to change Colibri Pink to Snow White ?

[elephantfluff]

Could someone possibly post a picture of a chocobo having Seafog Blue + the Leviathan barding? I am looking to dye my chocobo this color, and use this barding combination.

As per the suggestion in the spreadsheet I used the following to get Snow White. I did not keep track of anything else. These quantities were used to obtain a rough starting point towards white; however I ended up landing on it the first try:

Doman Plum x15
Valfruit x12
Cieldalaes Pineapple x6

Yet... nobody's produced this black. Why?

Here's the problem with black and white.

White is easy. You just add a lot of the LIGHTENS color fruits. Snow White on the RGB scale is all + all RGB and there isn't another dye color anywhere near it.

Soot Black, however, isn't a true true black so it isn't as easy as just "MINUS ALL THE COLORS!!". Ink Blue, Deepwood Green, and Kobold Brown are all in the same value range as Soot Black, where Ink Blue is actually the lowest in terms of RGB value (which is why it actually looks darker than Soot Black). Another difficult part of obtaining Soot Black is that while the LIGHTEN snacks all do +color, the DEEPEN snacks do what seems to be + primary color and - on the other 2. So it's a more complex balancing act in comparison to going White.

This is right... kinda. Just like the DEEPEN'er fruits that give + to one color and - to the other two colors, the LIGHTEN'er fruit works as its polor opposite.

If you go by color values, Ink Blue is indeed deeper than Soot black in terms of values being closer to zero. To achieve Soot Black, you'd need to feed the Chocobo a number off all three Deepen'er fruits (that give + to one color, and - to the other two). That will transform your bird into the Ink Blue, which then you'd need to feed it a very few trio of the Lighten'er fruits, which will raise all the values evenly up to the values which match closer to Soot Black.

Hi everyone. So I tempted Snow White using the recipe on the spreadsheet and I know its all rng so my Choco turned out Lotus Pink. What would you guys recommend I give him now to try for Snow White? I'm just really lost and not sure what to feed him or how many. What do you guys think? <3

I am currently aiming at Rolanberry Red.
Theorically speaking, what fruits would I need to go from Sunset Orange to Rolanberry Red?

A few Green DEEPEN'er's should do the trick. I think that's the Pear.
