Hello everyone.

I'm sure there are hundreds of posts for coloring your chocobo. I've read quite a few of them, I've followed graphs, I've followed calculators, I've even tried to use the color wheel as my guide, and I've followed how other people got to a specific color: Soot Black.

Soot Black is my goal, but here's the issue:
I have gotten my chocobo's color all the way to Abyssal Blue. That's the darkest it seems that I can make it without pulling my hair out. Every time I feed my chocobo Berries or Pears the color goes to Royal Blue. Everytime I feed my chocobo Apples or Pineapples my chocobo turns Regal Purple. I can't begin to describe how frustrating it is to keep going in these circles.

So now, my chocobo is Royal Blue. How annoying. Does anyone have any advice on how I can go from Royal Blue or Abyssal Blue to Soot Black. Do I have to lighten a specific color? All answers are appreciated for I am ready to just give up.

Thank you.
