I know it took me FIVE tries to go from Rolanberry Red to Soot Black and I followed the calculator feeding order for each color... thankfully the number of food items decreased the darker the chocobo turned out... still, when Marketplace sellers sell stacks of 99 instead of smaller stacks, it can become quite costly just to get the handful of food items that you need.
I guess I have it easy then...being in an FC where I have constant availability and use of our garden (since no one else uses it). Growing is so great compared to buying the fruit on the MB. I guess I also have it easy when it comes to using the color calculator site, every time I've ever changed colors, it's either been right the first time, or right the second time after a minimal second feeding. /shrug
