How does this work?

I'm pretty new to scripting and I'm sure pretty much all of this is wrong but I don't know where. :<

Anyone have any general tips or new things I could learn to make this code work?

The code seems to see my if statements as false/nil since it doesn't print how its changing color but I don't know how to make it see it correctly

local BPlate = game.Workspace.BasePlate

if BPlate.BrickColor ==("Dark stone grey") then --If the color is Dark stone grey
	wait(1)
	print('Changing color to Cyan!')
	BPlate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Cyan') --change it to Cyan 
end
 
if BPlate.BrickColor ==("Dark Stone grey") then --Also this doesn't work either
	print('Color change failed!')
end

if BPlate.BrickColor ==("Cyan") then
	wait(1)
	print('Changing color to Dark Stone Grey!')
	BPlate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Dark stone grey')
end

Mostly everything is right but when you want to check if a brickcolor you would need to create a brickcolor. Example if basplate.BrickColor = BrickColor("Cyan")

local BPlate = game.Workspace.BasePlate

if BPlate.BrickColor ==BrickColor.new("Dark stone grey") then --If the color is Dark stone grey
    wait(1)
    print('Changing color to Cyan!')
    BPlate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Cyan') --change it to Cyan 
end

if BPlate.BrickColor ==BrickColor.new("Dark Stone grey") then --Also this doesn't work either
    print('Color change failed!')
end

if BPlate.BrickColor ==BrickColor.new("Cyan") then
    wait(1)
    print('Changing color to Dark Stone Grey!')
    BPlate.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Dark stone grey')
end

All I did was add BrickColor.new infront of your conditions :)
