Chocobo Colour Calculator

[Merryl]

Hi everyone,
I've been using the same color calculator rhttps://ffxivchocobo.com/en# with perfect results for years with great accuracy. This past week though not so much.
It seems as though the suggested rgb fruits are no where near accurate anymore, making it near impossible to get the color bird you want.

Can anybody help? Is there a new calculator? if so please put a link Thanks

Unless they have changed the formula, its just the RNG kicking in. There is a little bit of RNG added to chocobo colors that the calculator can not predict. I'd just make sure you are entering in the color you actually got in and then calculate the fruits for the color you want. It normally takes a few tries in my experience, so if that has never happened to you then you've been very lucky. If you are doing all of that and following the feeding schedule then it is probably just bad luck.

If you are changing from one color previously obtained by feeds to another color, you may also be hitting thresholds by where the points combos you are attempting push over or under a value in the RGB.
As in, if you had previous changed to a color X, you might have been at the very edge of one or more of the RGB values required to achieve that color, as in if a value needed was 150, but you actually had hit 154, but that was still enough to be within the correct color range. By then changing those value by a second combo of feed aka "set RGB values", it may can cause those "at the edge" values to then not work out correctly in the math which then pushes it into a different RGB color. Like, if you need to increase the 150 value by 25 and not exceed 176, so you feed 25, but you were at 154 to start, so 154+25=179 which is 3 over the 176 max, so now the color is different.

It is best to feed the Chocobo the "reset" food first, allow its color to reset to the default, then change the values from there.

This is potentially an expensive option, and unnecessary.

Just recalculate from current color to desired color. Maybe they'll need to perform one or two shade corrections along the way, but that just takes a couple days' patience.
