Hey guys, I've been working on transitioning 1 color to another smoothly when it's going through all of it's phases and I have run across an issue where I need the string that I stored in the dictionary to convert back into a userdata value. It's easy to convert a userdata value to a string however, I am not sure how to do the opposite of that.
Color module script that contains the whole dictionary and returns a BrickColor in it's color3 value as a string can be found here.
Transitioning module script can be found here.
Local script that calls both modules can be found here.
The local script will print 'nil' if I ask it to print color1.Color.r because it's not a userdata value, it's a String. I was wondering how I can covert color1 and color2 to userdata values so I can perform arithmetic on them and, I've tried to do tonumber() on it but, it forms an entirely different number that will not help me with my transition.
##Thank you for any help and I know it might look like I am asking to solve a huge problem because of 3 different scripts and 2 of them being module scripts but, it's not really that big of an issue, just want to know how I might go about converting a String to a UserData Value.

You could convert your strings in the Color Module to tables(Ex: ["Cadet blue"] = {0.6235294342041,0.678431391716,0.75294125080109}) and then use it from there. You could also use string patterns so you wouldn't have to go through each table, but I'm not very good at those,
Thanks, you're a genius.
