Setting gui properties from table

Hello Developers
Im confused about this thing because I’m trying to set the Instance.new() properties using table but it doesn’t seem to work.
Table:

local Properties = {
	TextLabel_TemplateProperty = {
		BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255);
		BackgroundTransparency = 0;
		BorderColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(27, 42, 53);
		BorderMode = Enum.BorderMode.Outline;
		Name = "TextLabel";
		Rotation = 0;
		Size = UDim2.new(0, 200,0, 50);
		Visible = true;
		ZIndex = 1;
		Font = Enum.Font.SourceSans;
		RichText = false;
		Text = "Label";
		TextColor = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0);
		TextScaled = false;
		TextStrokeTransparency = 1;
		TextWrapped = false;
		TextXAlignment = Enum.TextXAlignment.Center;
		TextYAlignment = Enum.TextYAlignment.Center;
	}
}

Code i used:

local NewText_ = Instance.new("TextLabel")
	for Property, Value in pairs(Properties.TextLabel_TemplateProperty) do
		NewText_[Property] = Value
	end

Code error i got:

 Players.TestAccount87000.PlayerGui.EditorUi.ServerScript:31: invalid argument #3 (BrickColor expected, got Color3)

Code i got from:

Color3.fromrgb will be converted or divided by 255 in the table

local Test = {Color = Color3.fromRGB(10, 10, 10)} -- This will be converted into

0.0392157, 0.0392157, 0.0392157 -- this

Where do you set a BrickColor? I don’t understand what line is the issue.

BrickColors should be set with BrickColor.new() and Color3s should be set with Color3.new()

Well i fixed it because of

TextColor = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0);

must be

TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0);

but thanks btw

You typed TextColor, which caused the script to expect a BrickColor; you need to type TextColor3 instead.

There’s no brickcolors actually, i just typo in TextColor making me have a error. (Ye i should’ve double checked)

But you’ll need to multiple R, G and B by 255 or it wont work – only if you save it

Not true. Color3.fromRGB() handles dividing by 255

It’ll be divided by 255 inside of the table and Color.fromRGB doesn’t convert it back to the original color but apparently a ui object does automatically convert it

#10

If inside the table, it is converted from RGB to Color3, and set the color, it will be setting it normally. No manipulation needed.

#11

So you’d do

local Table = {Color = Color3.fromRGB(125, 125, 125)
print(Color3.new(Table.Color)) ??

#12

No. if you set Table = {Color = Color3.fromRGB(125, 125, 125), to access the Color3 Value all you would need to type is print(Table.Color)

That would return the Color3 version, which is RGB/255

#13

Oh I know that but to convert it back into an RGB value you’ll need to multiply it by 255. I misunderstood you.
