You can already transition between 2 colors using Color3.lerp.

@EncodedLua That’s not what I’m asking for. I’m asking that roblox adds support for input like this in the properties tab.

When you press enter this is what the color3 input would look like:

I see what you mean, that would be nice.

I’d say this is part of the reason why command line/plugins exist. For example, in this case you could just suffice with simple command:

game:GetService("Selection"):Get()[1].BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 200/2, 255/4)

Select your GUI object, run the command and save it for later use.

The command line is a last resort, and not every developer is a programmer. Studio already supports inline mathematical expressions in other property types (UDim, Vector, etc), so this seems like a reasonable request to me.

Never knew about properties that support expressions. In that case that is last resort indeed.

Just to clarify, I think he is saying the command line is a last resort, not typing equations into properties.

This would be a nice feature, and the technology is already there, but I wonder why it hasn’t happened already?

Ooh yeah like in Blender

Ditto on this. We can already type math into pretty much all other numerical properties. In fact, I had assumed Color3 would be included in this. I’ve just never tried it.
