It is passing StarterGui backgroundcolor3 instead of PlayerGui backgroundcolor3

Greetings once again.

Currently, I am creating a panel to change colors of bricks using a table and remoteevents.

In the following remoteevent, I am trying to change the brick color ( called background1 ) by getting the backgroundcolor3 of a frame.

However, instead of getting the PlayerGui backgroundcolor3 of the frame, it is getting me the StarterGui backgroundcolor3 of the frame.

The ScreenGui backgroundcolor3 is always white anyway so it prints me 1,1,1 while the PlayerGui backgroundcolor3 has the colors I want.

Any comments appreciated!

Is the BackgroundColor3 changed client-side? If so, the server cannot see these changes and therefore only sees the BackgroundColor3 it was originally.

To fix this, I would suggest including the current BackgroundColor3 in the FireServer arguments when you call it client-side then you can receive it as a parameter in the OnServerEvent callback.

Yes I now used the arguments/parameter to pass them from client to server, thank you or enlightening me.
