I'm probably making an obvious mistake here, but I've tried lots of different routes to try and solve this problem, none of which have worked.

My script is:

local colourSave = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("vehicleStats")
local key = ""
local Colour = Color3.new(127/255,127/255,127/255)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	key = "player_"..plr.UserId
	local initCheck = colourSave:GetAsync(key)
		if initCheck == nil then
			colourSave:SetAsync(key,tostring(Colour))
		end
	wait(1)
		for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace.ViewModel.Ranger.Body.Paint:GetChildren()) do
			v.Color = Color3.new(colourSave:GetAsync(key))
		end
			print(Color3.new(colourSave:GetAsync(key))) --debug
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.vehicleStats.flashColour.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, colour)
	colourSave:SetAsync(key,tostring(colour))
end)

The "colour" parameter received from the flashColour remote event looks something like this: 0.84532, 0.23536, 0.012463

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so if anyone could help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Why are you dividing 127 by 255?

Based on the research I've done, it seems that Color3 accepts decimal values between 0.0 and 1.0, so I thought it would make sense to set up the Colour variable that way.

You're storing the string "0.84532, 0.23536, 0.012463" into your datastore. Try converting this back into a color via Color3.new("0.84532, 0.23536, 0.012463"), which is what you're doing right now, and see what color you're generating.

Instead of saving the string, save the color as a table {Colour.r, Colour.g, Colour.b}, and convert this back to a color using Color3.new(unpack({Your saved table}).

That worked perfectly, thanks!
