The greatest tool available is the FFXIV Chocobo Colour Calculator, created by Chop Chop. You can see how much time is remaining before the colour change by going back and checking the ‘Tend to My Chocobo’ window. You can only feed one fruit at a time, so just note that it is a bit of tedious clicking. I usually just feed my Chocobo buddy all the fruits right away, but you do technically have the full six hours to do so. You then have a six hour window after which your Chocobo’s colour will change based on what combination of fruits it has eaten. After selecting ‘Tend to My Chocobo’, you’ll want to select ‘Feed’ and then give it a fruit to start the plumage change process. If you can’t wait two days, or if you don’t have or like to garden, the easiest thing to do is just buy all the fruits you need from the Marketboard. You’d have the easiest time growing them with a garden outside your house, but could probably manage with flowerpots in an apartment as well. Remember to tend to them so they don’t wither. They’ve got a good yield, especially with Shroud Topsoil, but they have a grow time of two days. The seeds to grow these fruits are available from your Grand Company Hunt Billmaster for 15 Allied Seals each. The method to change its feathers is to feed it fruits, which are grown through gardening and sold regularly on the Marketboard. Each apartment complex has its own Stable just outside the building where you can interact with your Chocobo Companion. If you don’t have an FC, or if it just doesn’t own an Estate, you can also access a Chocobo Stable if you’ve got an Apartment. For new, low level players this is probably easiest by joining an FC with an Estate and a Stable. Once you’ve unlocked your Chocobo Companion you can change its colour right away, provided you have access to a Chocobo Stable (in player housing) and can buy the necessary fruits from the Marketboard. Hopefully in the future we can get such bright plumage on our feathery friends. My attempt to get a Ruby Red Chocobo resulted in plain old Blood Red (details in Colour Changing Mechanics further down). My testing suggests that no, these are not available Chocobo colours. Finally, to the blue hues they’ve added Dragoon Blue and Turquoise Blue. The yellow tab now includes Canary Yellow and Vanilla Yellow. New red dyes include Ruby Red and Cherry Pink. However, some of these dyes were added to the regular colour sections. I don’t think anyone expects these colours to be viable for Chocobos, at least at this time. A few of these were in the fancy dye section (Gunmetal Black, Pearl White, and Metallic Brass), probably because they have similar metallic appearances to other dyes in the same category. In Patch 5.21, new dyes were added, available through the Ishgard Restoration content. Can you Make your Chocobo the New Dye Colours? Be sure to click on them if you’re interested in those colour names, or if you want to see a side view of any of the Chocobos. If you want to quickly skim and compare them, use the archive view, just be aware that for a few of the colours the preview is just text. This must have taken a lot of time to collect and is definitely a much appreciated resource! If you’re looking for references to see what your Chocobo could look like, I found this tumblr post that has in game screenshots of the different colours. I guess you could always give them some plate armor style Chocobo Barding if you’re after that shiny look. No shiny metal Chocobos allowed, unfortunately. This is the section with ‘Pure White’, ‘Jet Black’, metallic colours, pastels, and some others. Some exceptions of course include the dye tab with the ‘general-purpose’ colour names. The available colours for your Chocobo are (most of) the same ones that you can dye your in game clothing. Your Chocobo Companion is special, and you want it to stand out from the crowd, right? Amid a sea of Desert Yellow Chocobos, yours could be an eye-catching Royal Blue! A Regal Purple! A…Mud Green? The choice is yours, so here’s how to go about changing your Chocobo’s pretty plumage.
