Chocobo Color issue

[Penthea]

You seem to forget how costly these various food items cost. Someone who wants a color change but has limited funds 'resetting and starting anew' can be impossible.

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.

You can grow the food yourself and you can buy the seeds with allied seals (if I recall correctly) and they're very cheap. I think they take two days to grow.
