We all know that BrickColor.palette gives a brickcolor based on the number you give it. The problem is that I don’t know the numbers. I tried using this:
And it says White color is 1.
When running this code:
print(BrickColor.palette(1))
It prints Slime green, not White. Does anyone know the BrickColor.palette numbers?
My idea was to just do this code to get the number:
print(BrickColor.palette("White"))
but that gave me an error.
Open the brick color picker.
The top left is 0, going right 1 is slime green and so on.
Because it’s in such a weird shape, white is located at 7+8+9+10+11+12+13+12+5 or 87
Is there another, more efficient way to do this rather than counting them?
BrickColor.new(11)
it’s there on the website!!!
I need it for BrickColor.palette, not normal BrickColor.new().
Thanks for that. I’ll keep in mind that it increases by 1 each time.
here you go:
I made a small JavaScript snippet you can run in your browsers dev console (typically press F12):
let row = 2 // Change this to the row of the color
let offset = 4 // Offset of the color from the left
row = row - 1
let pos = 0
for(let i = 1; i <= row; i++) {
if (i >= 7) {
pos += 13-(i-7)
} else {
pos += 7+i-1
}
}
console.log(pos + offset)
For example, Ghost Grey is row 6 offset 5:
Offset is the number of times you moved right to get to the color. Rows over 14 or under 1 wont work. Make sure to count the offset right or it’ll be wrong
I can convert this to lua if you want a script.
EDIT: I made it a script anyways…
function getPalettePosition(row, offset)
row = row - 1
local pos = 0
for i = 1,row,1 do
if i >= 7 then
pos += 13-(i-7)
else
pos += 7+i-1
end
end
return pos + offset
end
NOTE: The last row (row 14) is literally just Really Black, there are no other offsets. They’re just showing colors that were already in the palette before, so they don’t have another index.
If you really want to get it by name and not row/offset, you can just loop over all of them, but it’s pretty inefficient, especially if it’s closer to the end, but if you want that anyways, the range is [0, 127]
Edit 2: So I’m really bored, this script gets the index based on name, though I cant say I recommend actually using it
function getIndexByName(name)
for i=0,127,1 do
if tostring(BrickColor.palette(i)) == name then
return i
end
end
return -1
end
What I could recommend is a lookup table instead:
local colorLookup = {

["Medium stone grey"] = 123,
["Flint"] = 124,
["Dark taupe"] = 125,

}
then it’s just colorLookup[“White”] for example
My goodness, that was a lot! I didn’t expect anyone to write a full 4 scripts for this simple question 
Thanks for all of these resources, I might actually end up using a few of these in the future. Thanks for the help!
