Above is the exact feedings and feather count.

Was trying for Celeste Green, but I ended up with Apple Green, and I have to say... I really REALLY like it. It's very me~! So I am sticking with it. My Tsugaru is a very pretty boy now~!

I've been running my own experiments trying to get to Turquoise Green from Raptor Blue one step at a time. I'm not having a lot of success and I'm not too sure how all these colour values work but I can provide some raw information for the rest of you because it seems like a lot of people working on one-step changes are in the yellows and pinks and not the blues.

Raptor Blue (START)
--> Fed 7 Pineapples (1 new feathers)
Seafog Blue
-->2 pineapple (1 msg)
Corpse Blue
-->4 pineapple (1 msg)
Celeste Green
-->7 Pear (1 msg)
Apple Green
-->1 Berry (1 msg)
Celeste Green

As you can tell I'm not really sticking with one fruit because recently my problem has been that my chocobo is simply too lightly coloured and I thought I needed to deepen the greens and blues but at the same time Celeste Green is very close to my ideal colour so I was hoping I could just darken everything at the same time. I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

Damn, no wonder han lemon is so expensive, each crop only yields 2 ...

[Snootles]

I'll just chime in. I'm not really aiming towards a certain colour, just something in the purple range =D

First feeding: 1 O'Ghomoro berry
Result: Nada!
Second feeding: 2 O'Ghomoro berry - received message that the chocobo is growing new feathers
Result: Pending

[Snootles]

Starting colour: Default desert yellow

First feeding: 1 O'Ghomoro berry
Result: Nada!
Second feeding: 2 O'Ghomoro berry - received message that the chocobo is growing new feathers
Result: Cork Brown


Third feeding: 2 O'Ghomoro berry - received message that the chocobo is growing new feathers.
Result: Pending


Edit: My advice to everyone, do not mix so many fruits because it doesn't matter. I see posts from people giving about 12 fruits in total and got Cork Brown from default. It just took me 3 berries for that. So that's a waste of your fruit.
Stick with 1 type of fruit and then work your way from there. Feed them until you get the message 'starts growing new feathers'. That's when the colour will change.

royal + apple = abyssal again so now I'm going to feed my abyssal an apple and see what happens

It's starting to look like some colors can't be done in one go and need to see another color first. A lot of the snow white chocobo reports are done in two sessions; getting to sylph green first, then adding more plums for white. while others using the same number in one session are still just getting to sylph green.

Edit:
Making a second page on my spreadsheet taking information of moving between colors because of this.
Hopefully getting closer to figuring out how everyone can copy exact recipes ;_;
That millioncorn is a messsss

Someone sent me some information saying 19x feather procs didn't give them othard blue, but didn't mention the color it did result in.
Even without that information, it sounds like there's still rng after the feather proc and the message is just alerting us that a change will actually be taking place.

To my surprise, I got Snow White with nothing but Plums. 2 separate feedings, only 2 "feathers" messages. Has anyone else gotten the same? Do y'all think I could remove red any farther?

No time stamp, sadly

I'm clearly need more coffee to have missed this. XD Ok, so theoretically achieving Snow White really is that easy. Still want to know if more red can be removed or not. ^^

eta: Scrolling back got me the answer. Thanks Levaeh! I'll update my list of recipes.
