I am getting an error where it’s getting a string instead of color3, how would I fix this?

Script 
local TakenColors = {}

local AvailableColors = {
	"1, 0.686275, 0.882353",
	"0.552941, 0.219608, 0.219608",
	"1, 0.34902, 0.34902",
	"1, 0.686275, 0.431373",
	"0.992157, 0.917647, 0.552941",
	"0.156863, 0.498039, 0.278431",
	"0.541176, 0.670588, 0.521569",
	"0.501961, 0.733333, 0.858824",

	"0.337255, 0.258824, 0.211765"
}

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local function PickColor()
		local ChosenColor = AvailableColors[math.random(1,AvailableColors)]
			if not table.find(TakenColors, ChosenColor) then
				table.insert(TakenColors, ChosenColor)
				Character["Body Colors"].TorsoColor3 = ChosenColor
				Character["Body Colors"].LeftLegColor3 = ChosenColor
				Character["Body Colors"].RightLegColor3 = ChosenColor
			else
				PickColor()
			end
		end
		PickColor()
	end)

Those are strings in a table, not numbers

Rmove the " and they will become numbers

Since you have strings in a table and I imagine that you want the numbers to be picked together, you should do:

Character["Body Colors"].TorsoColor3 = tonumber(ChosenColor)
Character["Body Colors"].LeftLegColor3 = tonumber(ChosenColor)
Character["Body Colors"].RightLegColor3 = tonumber(ChosenColor)

Thank you! But it says got number table expected? Might have fixed it I did
Color3.new(tonumber(ChosenColor))

Oh right, try:

Character["Body Colors"].TorsoColor3 = Color3.new(tonumber(ChosenColor))
Character["Body Colors"].LeftLegColor3 = Color3.new(tonumber(ChosenColor))
Character["Body Colors"].RightLegColor3 = Color3.new(tonumber(ChosenColor))

Although I would use this instead of your color table as it would always return nil for the chosen color:

local AvailableColors = {
	1 ..", ".. 0.686275 ..", "..0.882353,
	0.552941 ..", ".. 0.219608 ..", ".. 0.219608,
	1 ..", ".. 0.34902 ..", ".. 0.34902,
	1 ..", ".. 0.686275 ..", ".. 0.431373,
	0.992157 ..", ".. 0.917647 ..", ".. 0.552941,
	0.156863 ..", ".. 0.498039 ..", ".. 0.278431,
	0.541176 ..", ".. 0.670588 ..", ".. 0.521569,
	0.501961 ..", ".. 0.733333 ..", ".. 0.858824,
	0.0509804 ..", ".. 0.411765 ..", ".. 0.67451,
	0.54902 ..", ".. 0.356863 ..", ".. 0.623529,
	0.490196 ..", ".. 0.494118 ..", ".. 0.52549,
	0.105882 ..", ".. 0.164706 ..", ".. 0.207843,
	0.533333 ..", ".. 0.431373 ..", ".. 0.368627,

You also don’t have to use tonumber() for the Color3.new() if you use this anymore.

For some reason the body colors end up not being the color it is, its always 1254, 0, 0

Yeah, sorry about that, I had it all wrong. Use this:

local AvailableColors = {
	Color3.new(1, 0.686275, 0.882353),
	Color3.new(0.552941, 0.219608, 0.219608),
	Color3.new(1, 0.34902, 0.34902),
	Color3.new(1, 0.686275, 0.431373),
	Color3.new(0.992157, 0.917647, 0.552941),
	Color3.new(0.156863, 0.498039, 0.278431),
	Color3.new(0.541176, 0.670588, 0.521569),
	Color3.new(0.501961, 0.733333, 0.858824),
	Color3.new(0.0509804, 0.411765, 0.67451),
	Color3.new(0.54902, 0.356863, 0.623529),
	Color3.new(0.490196, 0.494118, 0.52549),
	Color3.new(0.105882, 0.164706, 0.207843),
	Color3.new(0.533333, 0.431373, 0.368627),
	Color3.new(0.337255, 0.258824, 0.211765)
}

(don’t use tonumber())
