Problem with changing ColorShiftTop and OutdoorAmbient with a script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there, so I have been having a problem with scripting lighting lately.
Here is the script I have been using

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
	Lighting.OutdoorAmbient = Color3.new(165, 87, 4)
        Lighting.ColorShift_Top = Color3.new(253 , 89 , 11)

What is the problem with it you may ask?
When it changes the Color of Outdoor Ambient and ColorShiftTop, it doesn’t exactly turn into the colors I put in the script.

Instead OutdoorAmbient Changes to (42075, 22185, 1020)
And ColorShiftTop Changes to (64515, 22695, 2805)

For some reason, they turn ridiculously high, and I have no idea why.

I hope you can inform me what I am doing wrong fellow reader.

Thanks for your time.

local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

Lighting.OutdoorAmbient = Color3.new(165, 87, 4)
Lighting['ColorShift_Top'] = Color3.new(253, 89, 11) -- You had accidentally placed
-- -spaces in Line 4 between the commas and may have referenced it incorrectly.

It may also be a Studio bug. Is any other script trying to change those lighting properties?

Nope, its the only script in the experience

#4

this is what happens If I use the script you gave me
it weirdly turns the baseplate and players red

Nothing, Just an auto recovery file.

Wait, so am I suppose to use Color.fromRGB and not Color3.new?

Oh, Color3.new() took your RGB values to super high levels because it converted them. Change .new to .fromRGB. Color3.new is 1,1,1 white, Color3.fromRGB is 255,255,255 white.

yes, you meant that instead of using .new because it uses a different “format”
