How do I save the player color at the click of one button and load it at the click of another?

I want to be able to click a save button ingame, which saves the player's body color, and have a continue button, which (after a player dies and the continue button is clicked) loads the player's color.

Currently, I'm trying to use a table to do so, but that returns nil when continue is pressed. The script is a LocalScript under PlayerGui.

The script:

-- [[ Player ]] --
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0

-- [[ Title Camera ]] --
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local CameraLocation1 = Vector3.new(-22.5, 35.5, -58.5)
local CameraDirection1 = Vector3.new(-8, 4.5, -92)
local titlecam = true

cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:connect(function()
     if titlecam == true then
    cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(CameraLocation1,CameraDirection1)
    end
end)



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

titlebutton.Position = UDim2.new(0.4, 0, 0.30, 0)
