Couldn't you do BrickColor.Random()? InfinitivePixelsJr 542 — 8y

Problem:

BrickColor3 is not a thing on Roblox Studio. You would most of the time use Color3.new() with Guis. However, there are about 2 ways that I am aware you can do a random BrickColor for a Part. Also, your script also won't work 'cause you forgot to put a wait() inside of the infinite loop.

Solution:

There are about 2 ways that I am aware of in which you can give a Part a random BrickColor.

Here is the first one:

while wait() do
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(math.random(1, 100)) -- While BrickColor3.new() is not a thing on Roblox. BrickColor.new() is a thing on Roblox. However, when using the math.random() method make sure you put numbers inside of the parenthesis. Those are the range of numbers in which it selects a random number in. If you leave it blank it will give you a decimal, not a whole number.
end

The above script is one way to choose a BrickColor however, one of the most used ways and easiest ways to choose a random BrickColorwould have to be the BrickColor:random() method specially made in Roblox, for the specific use of choosing a random BrickColor from the different BrickColors in the palette.

Anyways here it is:

while wait() do
script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor:random() -- You can even do the prefix "." instead of ":"
end

I hope I helped in one way or another. Please, if you have any other questions don't be afraid to post a comment below asking about them. Thank you for putting your precious time into reading this answer. I will see you another time.

PEACE!

Well, to make it fade from one color to another you'd probably have to plan out the order and use tables of some sort. It would take a while. KingLoneCat 2642 — 8y

Nah, you could do color3 manipulation of some sort I would imagine. User#11440 120 — 8y

No, I don't think you could. Pretty sure the RGB format is just for Guis. Then again I am not sure ;-; KingLoneCat 2642 — 8y
