Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[stabbitystyle]

Starting Color: Coral Pink
Stable Conditions: Clean
Chocobo Rank 4

All food fed at the start of the 6 hours:
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change
Feed apple -> plumage will change

Basically, fed 8 apples and never got a feathers are changing message.

Result: Coral Pink

That's normal if it's playing with RGB values, look at that extract (all FF colors with higher red than coral pink) :

Coral Pink	200	101	87
Desert Yellow	216	175	80
Colibri Pink	217	149	198
Millioncorn Yellow	226	152	46
Salmon Pink	226	165	131
Snow White	226	221	205
Rose Pink	228	153	144
Bone White	233	208	154
Cream Yellow	241	212	105
Honey Yellow	250	194	37
Lotus Pink	254	202	244

You see that if you increase Red more than coral pink's, you need to also rise Green value a lot to obtain an existing color in FF's world. Apples do not raise Green, so you won't get any change from feeding only Apples to your coral pink Chocobo.

At least I think ^^

My most amount fed to see feathers so far has been 12. If you go beyond 15-20, I'm thinking you've maxxed out the range and no more of that fruit will create a change.

What color do you want in the table I posted ?
Let's say you want Colibri Pink :

Coral Pink	200	101	87
Colibri Pink	217	149	198

You need to lighten red of 17 points (which means reinforce red, but to the light colors, not dark ones), lighten green of 48 points, and lighten blue of 109 points.
So you need I'd recommend a combination of plums (increase GB, reduce R values), and a few pineapples too (increase RB reduce G values), in like 2/3 1/3 proportions respectively.

Though the apples you used might have changed the RGB values from coral pink ....

So what item should I be using to increase green and blue levels?

Doman Plums. They reduce red, thus bringing out the blue and green

Doman Plums. They reduce red, thus bringing out the blue and green

So they reduce red and increase blue and green? Or just reduce red?

Forget what I said stabbitystyle, I'm tired, I read the values backwards ^^
Apples increase red color, so diminish R value and increase GB values.

My bad....
Here's the table of close colors reducing Red value (so increasing red color)

Lime Green	166	171	77
Ash Grey	167	162	156
Ice Blue	173	192	202
Sunset Orange	178	85	39
Iris Purple	178	152	183
Ul Brown	178	157	105
Gobbiebag Brown	180	158	130
Coeurl Yellow	182	129	3
Sylph Green	182	182	131
Pumpkin Orange	193	109	31
Cork Brown	197	139	79
Coral Pink	200	101	87

I don't know if you can directly correlate the rgb like that.
Rose Pink (R228, G153, B144) + Apples (deepen red) =
Coral Pink (R200, G101, B87)

or the rgb stuff has me too confused.

Yeah I've noticed the same thing, I think we've got it completely wrong, and the RGB table can only be a little aid. We should probably look into other ways of mixing colors, like in painting more than video.

Like with tools like that : http://painting.about.com/library/bl...ngpalette1.htm, though it starts at white and not desert yellow hehe ^^'
