How do I get the value the player set this in studio?

Interesting question. I’ve been digging a bit and haven’t been able to find a way to access that information. I assume you’re planning on using this in a plugin, but could I ask what specifically you want to use it for? You may need to use some other method if it’s not accessible information.

I am doing a plugin that allows players to set the brick color and material values of a part instantly through those defaults with a hotkey.

So you can use the Selection service to get a list of objects a studio user currently has selected. Unless someone is able to find a method of obtaining the currently selected color and material of the built-in plugin tools, then you may have to manage that information yourself. You implementation might look something like this:

local Selection = game:GetService("Selection")
function paintSelection(color, material)
   for _, obj in pairs(Selection:Get()) do
      if obj:IsA("BasePart") then --Ensures the 'obj' has a 'Color' and 'Material' property
         obj.Color = color
         obj.Material = material
      end
   end
end

That doesn’t answer my question. I already know how to do that, I just do not know how to retrieve the color and material available in that tool bar.
