How do I get a Player's Chat Color?
Hi. I'm making a custom chat GUI, and I want the Player's Name to be the same as their name would be with the normal ROBLOX chat system, but I need it to be a GUI. How would I get what color their name is? I have the GUI and everything, but I just can't get the Color.

I remember seeing a file that someone had leaked; it contained an algorithm supposedly used by ROBLOX to generate the chat color from some properties of a Player's name. If I ever find it, I'll let you know. Otherwise, there is no direct way to access a Player's chat color. duckwit 1404 — 10y

On the roblox forums, there was a post (not sure if by or just he responded to it) but Quenty showed a working algorithm that found the players chat color VariadicFunction 335 — 10y

local function GetNameValue(pName)
local value = 0
for index = 1, #pName do
local cValue = string.byte(string.sub(pName, index, index))
local reverseIndex = #pName - index + 1
if #pName%2 == 1 then
reverseIndex = reverseIndex - 1
end
if reverseIndex%4 >= 2 then
cValue = -cValue
end
value = value + cValue
end
return value
end
script.Parent.TextColor3 = CHAT_COLORS[(GetNameValue(INSERT_USERNAME HERE) % #CHAT_COLORS) + 1]
Replace INSERT_USERNAME HERE with the username

In normal chat system it is found by using the Team Color. To make the gui you could do.
textgui.TextColor3=(game.Players.LocalPlayer.TeamColor).Color
Hope this helps. Might work, not positive

If there are no teams, then it is not decided by team color VariadicFunction 335 — 10y
