Hi, recently I visited the game ROBLOX Battle and noticed that the superball smoothly changes color. I thought this was really cool and sought out to recreate it myself. I succeeded, but the only solution I could think of is complicated, lacks saturation and is impractical for anything outside of special effects. My suggestion is that the BrickColor property could be changed to accept Color3 inputs. For example, if you wanted a dark blue part, you could do "Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Color3(0,0,0.25)" or something like that. This would allow for games to have an extremely expanded color range, and allow for users to make almost anything without being bound by the current small selection of colors. For anyone who's curious, I open-sourced my Color3 script so you can take a peek at how this could look: Model - http://www.roblox.com/Color3-Tech-Demo-item?id=112424289 Place - http://www.roblox.com/Color3-Tech-Demo-place?id=111253090

"'Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Color3(0,0,0.25)'" I would prefer "Part.Color3 = Color3.new(R,G,B)" RGB format I'd think would work better. Support the idea. This is already possible with a mesh texture, actually. Look at Anaminus' "Imagination".

Well, the reason I say Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Color3 is so that masses of current games wouldn't broken. However, I agree, it would look better.

There's a reason, just like Vector3, it has a 3 in it. -A man chooses; a slave obeys.-

Or rid us of the putrid colour system and make it RGB entirely.
