Are you making sure to follow the suggested feeding order as well? Feeding in the wrong order can result in a different colour than you intended.

Also if you do not get a message about the feathers changing colour after feeding each time, it is possible that feed did not take effect the time a message didn't come. Following the feeding order reduces the chances of this happening.

It isn't an exact science so there can be some trial and error.
