How do i generate different shades of a colour?

Hi, I have a model containing parts, and I want the colours to be different shades of blue, wondering how you would do it.

In other words, I want each part to have a different shade of blue like this:

You can try using Color3.fromHSV() where Hue represents the Color, Saturation represents how “white” your color is, and Value represents how bright your color is. An example of this in code:

local function PickRandomColorShade(Hue: number): Color3
    return Color3.fromHSV(Hue, math.random(100) / 100, math.random(100) / 100)
end

print(PickRandomColorShade(0.666667)) -- '0.666667' would be the hue for Blue

Now we are getting somewhere! Thank you, I tried this out in a loop, and it works ok, I noticed different shades of black and white though, all I’m looking for is different shades of blue, so maybe I would change some numbers or something? If so – how would I make it more limited to just different shades of blue, dark blues, light blues, etc?

This is just a result of how Color3.fromHSV works! If you strictly want blue shades and would like to hide the clearer Black/White colors, just change the function to this

local function PickRandomColorShade(Hue: number): Color3
    return Color3.fromHSV(Hue, math.random(70) / 100, math.random(30, 100) / 100)
end

print(PickRandomColorShade(0.666667)) -- '0.666667' would be the hue for Blue

Perfect, works fantastic, thank you very much!

Also just out of curiosity, if I wanted to have for example different shades of red or yellow or something, what would I change to achieve that effect?

For different colors, change the hue value that you’re giving into the function. You can find Color Hue’s by playing around with a Color3 in your script. Heres an example:
