"Sparkles" instance's "Color" property exceeds Color3 range

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

#1

“Sparkles” instances have two colour properties, “SparkleColor” and “Color”. The latter property’s default value is outside of the normal Color3 value range (0-1). Specifically, the green field is ~1.00000012 as opposed to being capped at 1.

This results in a warning if you convert the Color3 to hex. Default properties should not cause warnings like this.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

Reproduction Steps
Run the following code anywhere, and observe the printed value being higher than 1:

print(Instance.new("Sparkles").Color.G)

To reproduce the warning, run the following code anywhere:

print(Instance.new("Sparkles").Color:ToHex())

There are cases where it is expected to use Color3 values that exceed the [0 - 1] range. Roblox should update Color3 documentation to reflect this.

When this is the case, there won’t be a Hex representation, so there is a warning. I would like to note that you are using a deprecated property, and that the SparkleColor property default value does not have this problem.

I agree with all these points. I rarely ever use Sparkles in projects these days, let alone in conjunction with that deprecated property.

I only stumbled across this by chance while observing the default properties of some instances for a project, so there’s definitely no chance of this hindering any actual development.

Regardless, I don’t believe this is intended, hence the report.
