How Do I Make The Players' Name Colors Random On A Custom Chat GUI?

I'm making a chat GUI similar to the old one, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it so the people have similar colors like on the normal chat GUI. This is what I got so far.

01function UpdateOldLabels(Parent)
02    for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do
03        if v.Name:sub(1,4):lower() == "line" then
04            local LineNumber = v.Name:sub(5)
05            if LineNumber == "6" then
06                v:destroy()
07            else
08                v.Name = "line"..tostring(tonumber(LineNumber) + 1)
09                v.Position = v.Position - UDim2.new(0,0,0,15)
10            end
11        end
12    end
13end
14 
15game:getService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
16    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
17        for _,v in ipairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
18            UpdateOldLabels(v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
19            newchatline = Instance.new("TextLabel",v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
20            newchatline.Text = player.Name.. ": " ..msg
21            newchatline.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,0,15)
22            newchatline.Position = UDim2.new(1,0,0-15)
23            newchatline.Font = "Arial"
24            newchatline.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1,1,1)
25            newchatline.TextStrokeTransparency = 0
26            newchatline.BackgroundTransparency = 0.1
27            newchatline.BorderSizePixel = 0
28            newchatline.FontSize = "Size14"
29            newchatline.TextXAlignment = "Left"
30            newchatline.TextYAlignment = "Top"
31            newchatline.ClipsDescendants = true
32            newchatline.Name = "line1"
33        end
34        UpdateOldLabels(game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenGui.Frame)
35        newchatline:Clone().Parent = game:GetService("StarterGui").ScreenGui.Frame
36    end)
