Global variables not storing inside of a function?

I was having an issue with my variable, so I looked into it and then changed them to global variables, rather than local. Even after doing this, the variables don't store, or change at all.

What I'm trying to do is make it so that when the player clicks a button, and then clicks done, it stores that player's choice after reset, when a different button is pressed. When I print the variable right after clicking the button, it still returns nil. How do I store this variable?

The relevant parts of script:

-- [[ Player ]]
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
playercolor = " " -- The variable I'm trying to store.
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0

-- [[ Title Screen ]]
local titlescreen = Instance.new("ScreenGui", script.Parent)
titlescreen.Name = "Title Screen"

-- New Game
titlebutton = Instance.new("TextButton", titlescreen)
titlebutton.Name = "New Game"
titlebutton.Position = UDim2.new(0.4, 0, 0.35, 0)
titlebutton.Size = UDim2.new(0.25, 0, 0.1, 0)
titlebutton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(144, 0, 0)
titlebutton.FontSize = "Size14"
titlebutton.Text = "New Game"

-- Continue Game
titlebutton2 = Instance.new("TextButton", titlescreen)
titlebutton2.Name = "Continue Game"
titlebutton2.Position = UDim2.new(0.4, 0, 0.55, 0)
titlebutton2.Size = UDim2.new(0.25, 0, 0.1, 0)
titlebutton2.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(144, 0, 0)
titlebutton2.FontSize = "Size14"
titlebutton2.Text = "Continue Game"


-- [[ Character Creation ]]
local CharacterCreate = Instance.new("ScreenGui", script.Parent)
CharacterCreate.Name = "Character Creation"

local CharacterCreateDone = Instance.new("TextButton", CharacterCreate)
CharacterCreateDone.Name = "Done"
CharacterCreateDone.Position = UDim2.new(0.9, 0, 0.9, 0)
CharacterCreateDone.Size = UDim2.new(0.08, 0, 0.05, 0)
CharacterCreateDone.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(144, 0, 0)
