Seems like a silly mistake. Your event connection is declared inside the function. Function never runs, so the connection is never made. Please correct:

function leftClick(mouse)

	if script.Parent.Parent.DripColors.Visible == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.DripColors.Visible = false
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.DripColors.Visible = true
	end

end
--here this line needs to be outside function
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(leftClick)

I hope I helped.
