Ambient and OutdoorAmbient setting in Lighting set by scripts is 255 times intended value!?

Tried this:

l = game:GetService("Lighting") t = script.Parent.DayType function identify() print(l.Ambient,t.Value)

if t.Value == "cold" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(162, 197, 223)

elseif t.Value == "cool" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(194, 208, 223)

elseif t.Value == "nice" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(189, 189, 189)

elseif t.Value == "warm" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(165, 163, 137)

elseif t.Value == "hot" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(118, 114, 0)

else print("Wut? Unkown daytype???")
end

end while wait(3) do identify() end

And got 255 times the color3 values i put in, reading as negative halves, and making the game either blinding white or empty void.

If you want to get the correct value, you would have to divide the number you want by 255, according to the ROBLOX Wiki. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Color3

Under 'Useful Code'

if t.Value == "cold" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(162/255, 197/255, 223/255)

elseif t.Value == "cool" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(194/255, 208/255, 223/255)

elseif t.Value == "nice" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(189/255, 189/255, 189/255)

elseif t.Value == "warm" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(165/255, 163/255, 137/255)

elseif t.Value == "hot" then
    l.Ambient = Color3.new(118/255, 114/255, 0)

else print("Wut? Unkown daytype???")
end

NOTE** There is a much better way than just doing it this way, instead of individually dividing everything by 255. Also, note that 0 does not have to be divided by 255, same with 1.
