Changing a TextLabel's TextColor using a Color3 value?
What I'm trying to do is make an easily configurable SurfaceGui. Inside the Part, there are 3 items.
SurfaceGui Script Configuration
Inside the configuration is
Company --StringValue PicID --NumberValue TextCol --Color3Value
And inside the SurfaceGui
ImageLabel TextLabel
And finally, inside the script
local config = script.Parent.Configuration
local name = config.Company
local image = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel
local text = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
local id = config.PicID
local color = config.TextCol
while wait() do
text.Text = name.Value --Works
script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(color) --Does not work
image.Image = "rbxassetid://"..id.Value --Works
end

text.TextColor3 = color.Value
color is the color3 value, use color.Value to get the value.

Oh yea, I forgot to add the value. I'm so stupid today... TheHospitalDev 1134 — 8y

The problem is that you try to pass whole color object to Color3.new function. Also, no need to make new Color3, just use it just like you did with other values.
Also, using infinite loop for this kind of updating is pretty big waste. Instead, you could make use of events, that will reduce the strain on server Lua.
local config = script.Parent.Configuration
local name = config.Company
local image = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel
local text = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
local id = config.PicID
local color = config.TextCol
-- Changed will fire everytime the value changes, so no need to pointlessly loop
name.Changed:connect(function()
text.Text = name.Value
end)
color.Changed:connect(function()
script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = color.Value -- Color already contains Color3
end)
id.Changed:connect(function()
image.Image = "rbxassetid://"..id.Value
end)
