use character:GetChildren() and an in pairs loop next time. And at least attempt to do some datastore stuff before asking a question. Dovydas1118 1495 — 4y

You are doing

1local information = {
2            ["SkinR"] = char.Head.Color.R;
3            ["SkinG"] = char.Head.Color;    
4            ["SkinB"] = char.Head.Color;
5        }

You are forgetting to index both G and B to get their colours, which means that you are attempting to instantiate a Color3 with (float, color3, color3) when in reality it takes (float, float, float), to fix this simply change it to

1local information = {
2            ["SkinR"] = char.Head.Color.R;
3            ["SkinG"] = char.Head.Color.G;    
4            ["SkinB"] = char.Head.Color.B;
5        }

And it should work
