✓ ANSWER ACCEPTED
do you use BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Color") for a pointlight?

No, you would use something like this:
local light=script.Parent
light.Color=Color3.new(number,number,number)
Every BrickColor variable has a Color property. See all of the properties and methods of BrickColors here. This property is the Color3 value equivalent of the BrickColor. So if you wanted to use a BrickColor for a Color3 field, you would do this:
local pointLight = workspace.light
pointLight.Color = BrickColor.new("Bright yellow").Color
If you wanted to know how to make a Color3 value, which is what is generally accepted by these fields, you would use this:
local pointLight = workspace.light
pointLight.Color = Color3.new(redValue,greenValue,blueValue)
Note that the Color3 values must be numbers between 0 and 1. Since it is more common to think of RGB values as numbers from 0 - 255, you can do something like this:
local function newColor(r,g,b)
return Color3.new(r/255,g/255,b/255)
end
local pointLight = workspace.light
pointLight.Color = newColor(255,0,124)

You can also do BrickColor.new'Brick color'.Color if you really want authentic brick color color3.
