local Gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame",  Gui)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.3
Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(170, 85, 255)
Frame.BorderSizePixel = 0
Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 1298,0, 1298)

When using Color3, all of the 3 values must be a number between 0 and 1, to get the exact color you want you will have to use color/255. This is the code you should use:

local Gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame",  Gui)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.3
Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(170/255, 85/255, 255/255)
Frame.BorderSizePixel = 0
Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, 1298,0, 1298)

I'm guessing it always came up as being white. I think Color3 values used to work as numbers up to 255 but now need to be between 0 and 1. If this worked or helped you, please vote up and accept as answer!

look, idontcare2004 already answwerd your question, but you are using the Size wrong.

Offset is a terrible feature! Use scale.

Frame.Size = UDim2.new(1,  0, 1,  0)

learn how to use scale.

Scale's value depends on the screen size. It makes it universal, and able to be seen on tablets and ipads - which have small screens. With the offset, a tablet may only be able to see half of what a computor sees ConnorXV 5 — 8y

I usually make a function to help me with Color3 as I feel it saves time and makes the code a whole lot easier.

Here's the function

function color3(r, g, b)
    return Color3.new(r/255, g/255, b/255)
end

local Gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)
local Frame = Instance.new("Frame",  Gui)
Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.3
Frame.BackgroundColor3 = color3(170,  85,  255)
Frame.BorderSizePixel = 0
Frame.Size = UDim2.new(0,  1298, 0,  1298)
