    3 doman plums from colibri pink and I've got ice blue. Fed it 1 pineapple (with message), so hopefully I've got white next time.

    Personally, I've witnessed the fact that no matter how many fruits you feed it, if it doesn't get the "growing new feathers" message, the color won't change at all. So that's at least necessary for a color change. Now my question is whether that's simply bad luck/good luck RNG, or whether you're not "hitting on" a new color on their dye scale when you don't get the message.

    took me 5 valfruits from raptor blue to get a message just now, seems like a pretty big gap to not just be rng

    Mine is currently at Moss Green, but I don't remember what I did to get it there. That said, I'm trying to go darker with it so I gave it the remainder of my food: 6 O'Ghomoro, 5 Mamook Pears and 3 Xelphatol Apples and it didn't give me a single message for any of it. Starting to wonder if I'll ever get one if I keep feeding it or not.

    From Royal Blue > 3 Apples (single message) > Regal Purple. I still want Gloom Purple but i like this color so gonna leave it for a few days as people experiment more. I would guess that a single green may take me Gloom though

    Interesting that you gave it 3 apples (deepens red), and it brought red up and blue down on the RBG scale.

    Royal Blue R34 G42 B96
    Regal Purple R95 G42 B71

    keep in mind it's by message. So a single message did that. But good point, based on that change it does seem like a single darken green message would bring me to Gloom Purple. But do I want to risk it!!

    But then again, it would need to raise the blue also... Since adding the dark red (apple) did not change the Green values in the Royal Blue (R34 G42 B96), then I would assume a green would probably lower blue and not touch the red. I dont see how a green would raise blue


    Regal Purple: R95 G42 B71
    Gloom Purple: R61 G69 B96

    After two plums he returned to coral pink. I believe that once you get the message that's it for that fruit going by this result, but that's an assumption.

    1 pineapple brought me back to Sylph green. I have come full circle.

    I don't know what to do to make this fucker white.

    Please, if anyone has a suggestion of what to try to feed it to make it white, let me know because I obviously don't know XD Maybe I need to lighten all three values once or twice?

    Feed 1: Desert Yellow -> Honey Yellow (6x Cieldalaes Pineapples, 1 message)
    Feed 2: Honey Yellow -> Aldgoat Brown (11x O'ghomoro Berries, 11 messages)
    Feed 3: Aldgoat Brown -> Raptor Blue (10x O'ghomoro Berries, 10 messages + 5x Doman Plum, 5 messages)
    Feed 4: Raptor Blue -> Lavender Purple (5x Valfruit, 1 message)

    84 120 188 -> 128 120 169

    so the "lightens green" fruit didn't even touch green.

    Well I've had those messages, then had those messages go away because I fed it a different fruit. This resulted in my plumage not changing at all.

    If you see the message go away, you messed something up!

    That's extremely bizarre if true. Assuming getting the message means the berry has worked on the chocobo, and not getting the message means the berry simply hasn't worked, then getting at least one message should still change its color regardless of whether or not the following fruit gives you a message. I hope someone else who ends by feeding it a berry that doesn't give a message can confirm this.

    You didn't feed it a han lemon by chance? >_>

    (I don't know how likely this is, but obviously the dyes are on some sort of color scale, judging by what the berries do. If say, just as a random example, gloom purple is one step, and grape purple is several steps darker in red, what are the chances you have to feed enough berries to match those steps and only on the step that hits the next color on the scale do you get the message?)

    -gloom
    -nothing (berry 1 no msg)
    -nothing (berry 2 no msg)
    -nothing (berry 3 no msg)
    -grape (berry 4 msg)
    ?

    [edit]
    1 plum turned it ice blue again. this time I'm going to try lightening all 3 colors once and see what comes out.

    I had Moss Green (R105 G108 B33), fed it 10 O'Ghomoro Berries (Deepens blue) which gave a message every time, and got Abyssal Blue (R43 G39 B80). So it lowered my reds and greens and raised the blue. wat

    It would make sense if I use O'Ghomoros with a pile of berries for red/green, sure. But only blues and the biggest change was to not blue.

    Not every color is represented though. Deepen blue = blue goes up, and that's what happened.

    Rather the NA item text seems to be misleading. People are assuming it's static +blue and -blue instead of "move x direction on the 6-pointed color wheel".

    IT'S WHITE!

    I figured since feeding it ONE of any berry towards lighter kept giving me different colors respective to the berry I fed it, feeding it to lighten all 3 colors should do the trick. And it did! Hooray.

    So the entire chronicle goes like this:

    Sylph green > fed 3 valfruit (1 message) > colibri pink > fed 3 plum (3 msg) > ice blue > fed 1 pineapple (1 msg) > sylph green > fed 1 plum (1 msg) > ice blue > fed 1 valfruit (1 msg), 1 plum (1 msg), 1 pineapple (1 msg) > snow white

    Feed 1: Desert Yellow -> Honey Yellow (6x Cieldalaes Pineapples, 1 message)
    Feed 2: Honey Yellow -> Aldgoat Brown (11x O'ghomoro Berries, 11 messages)
    Feed 3: Aldgoat Brown -> Raptor Blue (10x O'ghomoro Berries, 10 messages + 5x Doman Plum, 5 messages)
    Feed 4: Raptor Blue -> Lavender Purple (5x Valfruit, 1 message)
    Feed 5: Lavender Purple -> Raptor Blue (1x O'ghomoro Berry, 1 message)
    Feed 6: Raptor Blue -> Othard Blue (7x O'ghomoro Berries, 1 message)
    Feed 7: Othard Blue -> ?? (3x O'ghomoro Berries, 1 message)

    I predicted Othard Blue or Iris Purple for feed 6. beginning to see the way this works. Next feed should be Storm Blue. Going to say that the 11/10/5 messages earlier were just 1 each too, pretty obvious at this point. No real reason to shove 10 pieces of fruit in your choco's mouth at a time it would seem. Easy to manipulate the color if you go by this rather than what the fruits say they do in the game:

    apples add red and reduce green/blue
    plums increase cyan5 and reduce red
    pears increase green and reduce blue/red
    valfruits increase magenta and reduce green
    berries increase blue and reduce red/green
    pineapples increase yellow and reduce blue

    Ok, just so everyone knows. If you feed it and get a message, and you feed it again without getting a message and then leave it at that till the timer expires, the chocobo wont change.
