How to slowly shift BrickColor?

I have an model where all descendants called Part need to slowly shift color, here's the code I already have:

01items = {}
02 
03for index, descendant in pairs(script.Parent.Model:GetDescendants()) do
04    if descendant.Name == "Part" then
05        table.insert(items, descendant)
06    end
07end
08 
09while true do
10    for i, v in items do
11        -- What do I do now?
12    end
13 
14    wait(math.random(0.95, 1.05)) -- Stay as solid color for a very short while
15end

I'd rather have my game run nice and smooth, but if no one knows how to make this code also smooth I'll just use the best other code I can find.

You can check out tweening. It will make the shifting even smoother. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

sorry, I'm quite new to tweening. Do you know how to do it for the code I put in the question? BeAHacker666 75 — 5y

Here is the gist

01local tween = function(Object, Changes)
02    local Info = TweenInfo.new(
03        .5, --Time to do the tween
04        Enum.EasingStyle.Back, -- Style
05        Enum.EasingDirection.Out, -- Direction
06        0, -- number of repeats
07        false, -- reverts back to normal
08        0 -- Delay 
09    )
10    local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
11    local Action = TweenService:Create(Object, Info, Changes)
12    return Action
13end
14 
15 
16while true do
17    local Action = tween(script.Parent, {Color = Color3.fromRGB(math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255), math.random(0,255))})
18    Action:Play()
19    Action.Completed:Wait()
20end

Put this in a brick

It's not just a brick, I need to do it with all parts in the model called Part. BeAHacker666 75 — 5y

01local colors = {BrickColor.new("Steel blue").Color, 
02                BrickColor.new("Bright violet").Color,
03                BrickColor.new("Magenta").Color,

06                BrickColor.new("Lime green").Color,
07                BrickColor.new("Toothpaste").Color} -- the colors table, you change change them.

it are a few parts in a model I need to change. BeAHacker666 75 — 5y

and all those models need the same color BeAHacker666 75 — 5y

What do you mean? GamingWithFlight 80 — 5y

just as I say, this code only changes 1 brick's color, it needs to change all bricks called "Part" BeAHacker666 75 — 5y

Nvm, I found a solution myself, it might now be the smoothest but I'm fine with it.

01local items = {}
02 
03for index, descendant in pairs(script.Parent.Model:GetDescendants()) do
04    if descendant.Name == "Part" then
05        table.insert(items, descendant)
06    end
07end
08 
09function positify(val)
10    if val < 0 then
11        return -val
12    else
13        return val
14    end
15end
16 
17while true do
18    local newR = math.random(255) / 255
19    local newG = math.random(255) / 255
20    local newB = math.random(255) / 255
21 
22    local running = true
23 
24    while running do
25        for i, v in pairs(items) do
26            if v.Color.r > newR then
27                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r - 1 / 255, v.Color.g, v.Color.b)
28            elseif v.Color.r < newR then
29                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r + 1 / 255, v.Color.g, v.Color.b)
30            end
31 
32            if v.Color.g > newG then
33                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r, v.Color.g - 1 / 255, v.Color.b)
34            elseif v.Color.g < newG then
35                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r, v.Color.g + 1 / 255, v.Color.b)
36            end
37 
38            if v.Color.b > newB then
39                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r, v.Color.g, v.Color.b - 1 / 255)
40            elseif v.Color.b < newB then
41                v.Color = Color3.new(v.Color.r, v.Color.g, v.Color.b + 1 / 255)
42            end
43 
44            if positify(newR - v.Color.r) <= 1 / 255 then
45                if positify(newG - v.Color.g) <= 1 / 255 then
46                    if positify(newB - v.Color.b) <= 1 / 255 then
47                        running = false
48                    end
49                end
50            end
51        end
52 
53        wait()
54    end
55 
56    wait(math.random(0.95, 1.05)) -- Stay as solid color for a very short while
