mu has the correct answer, but his code is inefficient:
local light = workspace.Part.PointLight --set this to the PointLight object
local gui = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame --set this to the GUI object you want to draw from.
gui.Changed:connect(function()
light.Color = gui.BackgroundColor3 --Or, as mu said, TextColor3 or BorderColor3
end)
Assuming you have the Script in the button and a PointLight in a part in the workspace
local Light=workspace.Part.PointLight
coroutine.wrap(function()
while wait() do
Light.Color=script.Parent.BackgroundColor3 --Or TextColor3, BorderColor3, etc...
end
end)()

Lmao, I just wrote the first thing that came to mind...coroutines
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.
