mu has the correct answer, but his code is inefficient:

view source
1local light = workspace.Part.PointLight --set this to the PointLight object
2local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame --set this to the GUI object you want to draw from.
3 
4gui.Changed:connect(function()
5    light.Color = gui.BackgroundColor3 --Or, as mu said, TextColor3 or BorderColor3
6end)

I could bash that, since using coroutine.wrap() inline is ugly. Not to say a resume wrapping a create wrapping a function is any less ugly but I digress. adark 5487 — 10y

Assuming you have the Script in the button and a PointLight in a part in the workspace

view source
1local Light=workspace.Part.PointLight
2coroutine.wrap(function()
3    while wait() do
4        Light.Color=script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 --Or TextColor3, BorderColor3, etc...
5    end
6end)()
