I’m trying to customize my chat, but it’s color doesn’t changes to green.

--// SERVICES
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Chat = game:GetService("Chat")
--// IMPORTS
local CustomSettings = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChatInitializer").SettingsModule)
local ChatSettings = require(Chat:WaitForChild("ClientChatModules").ChatSettings)
--// FUNCTIONS
local function CreateCornerInstance(radius, parent)
	local NewCorner = Instance.new("UICorner")
	NewCorner.CornerRadius = radius
	NewCorner.Parent = parent
	
	return NewCorner
end
--// VARIABLES
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player.PlayerGui
local PlayerChat = nil
--// SOURCE
repeat task.wait() until PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Chat")
PlayerChat = PlayerGui.Chat

ChatSettings.WindowDraggable = CustomSettings.Behaviour.WindowDraggable
ChatSettings.WindowResizable = CustomSettings.Behaviour.WindowResizable
ChatSettings.ShowChannelsBar = CustomSettings.Behaviour.ShowChannelsBar

ChatSettings.ChatBarBackGroundColor = Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 0)

if CustomSettings.RoundedCorners.Enabled == true then
	if ChatSettings.WindowResizable == true then
		CreateCornerInstance(CustomSettings.RoundedCorners.Radius, PlayerChat.Frame.ImageButton)	
	end
	CreateCornerInstance(CustomSettings.RoundedCorners.Radius, PlayerChat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame)
	CreateCornerInstance(CustomSettings.RoundedCorners.Radius, PlayerChat.Frame.ChatBarParentFrame.Frame.BoxFrame)
	CreateCornerInstance(CustomSettings.RoundedCorners.Radius, PlayerChat.Frame.ChatChannelParentFrame)
end

Result:

The chat module responsible for handling the window may already register the colour before your code runs so the update doesn’t go through. Perhaps you want to instead consider setting your chat settings with the chat callback OnCreatingChatWindow instead?
