Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[BGE]

I tried the calculator and it directed me to feed 28 fruits...8b/10p/10a to get from raptor blue to orthard blue...instead, I feed two berries and gotten orthard blue...happy I got my color but sad what the thing had suggested :T

I believe, the calculator is pretty good for long distance calculations, but it is better to use single proc method for close colours.

Can I seriously get some help on escaping this Kobold Brown>Deepwood Green>Kobold Brown loop?

I'm not making any headway, I'm using the feeds recommended. I feed, get a single plume change, stop. It gives me Kobold Brown or Deepwood Green, depending on whether I'm Green or Brown at the time.

I'm circling the goal and I must be so damn close that I'm overshooting no matter what.

I've looped three times already, I'm getting super discouraged. Please help.

From the chart, should be pears > plums...2-1 usually...just do two seperate feedings just in case...hope this works for ya

And that's from k. Brown > s. Black

Ochu > Hunter Green! I fed it 3 more berries for a single feather proc, heres hoping this is the end of the line!

UH I got a proc on the first valfruit, should I feed it a second still?

I am convinced any luck people are having with the calculator is just that, luck. I've been bouncing around trying to hit charcoal grey for days now. It'll go from a baby poo green to a almost grey blue to a brighter green to a dark blue to a purple.

Blame it on SE. Some RGB values are very close, and the same fruit can span 3-4 color range. What color are you at ATM?

This is getting beyond frustrating.

Lets try this, it will take a few more fruits, but let's get you out of DG/KB loop.
Feed 2 plums and 4 berries to get it to Midnight Blue (wait 6 hrs) (25, 26, 57) (KB -> SB -> DW -> Ink Blue -> MB)
then feed it 3 or 4 pineapples to get it to Soot Black (MB -> IB -> SB)

HelpRolanberry Red. ... currently on Dalamud Red atm.

DR = 112, 27, 27
RR = 93, 24, 43

Step	Feed	Qty	122	27	27
1@	berry	3	107	12	42
2	plum	1	102	17	47
3	pear	1	97	22	42

To Target		-4	2	1

Should get feather proc on 3rd berry, which will take you into RR range, rest are for fine tuning.

regal purple ... "lavender purple'. I've researched and seen I need to use 11 × Pineapples, 13 × Valfruit, 18 × Plums. Can anyone confirm the fruit quantity I listed is correct and assist me in how to break down the feeding distribution so I don't overfeed one color.

The feed is correct.

Step	Feed		Qty	104	50	80
1	plum		10	54	100	130
2	valfruit	10	104	50	180
3	pineapple	10	154	100	130
4	plum		7	119	135	165
5	valfruit	1	124	130	170
6@	valfruit	1	129	125	175
7	pineapple	1	134	130	170
8	valfruit	1	139	125	175

To Target			-2	4	0

Step 6 will take you into the LP zone.

I went through another loop in the time between your two last posts, I'm back at DWG, using one plum. How many feeds/what would I feed to get to MB from DW?

Should I feed it a valfruit to go back to KB, and then start from there instead?
