  1. What do you want to achieve?
    To convert a Color3 into a string, and send it to the server so it can be saved

  2. What is the issue?
    I don’t know how to convert the Color3 into a string

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve tried using tostring but it only prints one number from the Color3 value

local script

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local allcolour = Color3.new(136, 255, 0)
	local allcolournow = tostring(allcolour.R..",",allcolour.G..",",allcolour.B)
	script.Parent.Parent.BeamColour.RemoteEvent:FireServer(allcolournow)
end)

server script

script.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,allcolournow)
	local stats = player.leaderstats
	stats.Skill1BeamColour.Value = allcolournow
	print(allcolournow)
end)

tostring only takes one argument, you passed 3 arguments so it’ll only convert the first argument to string.
As numbers automatically converts to string when doing mostly anything with them you don’t need tostring in this instance.

local allcolournow = allcolour.R .. "," .. allcolour.G .. "," .. allcolour.B

Or alternatively, you can use tostring for the Color3 value local allcolournow = tostring(allcolour)

thanks, turning the color3 itself into a string worked

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local allcolour = Color3.new(136, 255, 0)
	local allcolournow = tostring(allcolour)
	script.Parent.Parent.BeamColour.RemoteEvent:FireServer(allcolournow)
end)

use tostring() to convert a value to a string
use tonumber() to convert a value to a number
