# Class: Color3Value

> A container object for a single Color3 value.

## Description

A container object for a single [Color3](/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/Color3.md) value.

## Code Samples

**Set Color3Value**

This code sample sets the Value property of a Color3Value to Red.

```lua
local myColor3Value = script.Parent
myColor3Value.Value = Color3.new(1, 0, 0) -- Red

-- You can also store the color of a BrickColor value by accessing BrickColor's Color property, which is a Color3:
local someBrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
myColor3Value.Value = someBrickColor.Color
```

## Properties

### Property: Color3Value.Value

```json
{
  "type": "Color3",
  "access": "ReadWrite",
  "security": {
    "read": "None",
    "write": "None"
  },
  "serialization": {
    "can_load": true,
    "can_save": true
  },
  "thread_safety": "ReadSafe",
  "category": "Data",
  "simulationAccess": true
}
```

The stored [Color3](/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/Color3.md).

## Events

### Event: Color3Value.Changed

**Signature:** `Color3Value.Changed(value: Color3)`

Fired whenever the [Color3Value.Value](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Color3Value.md) of the [Color3Value](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Color3Value.md) is
changed. It will run with the new value being stored in the argument
object, instead of a string representing the property being changed.

This event, like other changed events, can be used to track when an
Color3Value changes and to track the different values that it may change
to.

For instance, this may be useful in games that rely on Color3Values to
track values such as colors for games using customizable outfits or items.

Equivalent changed events exist for similar objects, such as
[NumberValue](/docs/reference/engine/classes/NumberValue.md) and [StringValue](/docs/reference/engine/classes/StringValue.md), depending on what object type
best suits the need.

*Security: None*

**Parameters:**

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `value` | `Color3` | The new value after the change. |

**How to Use Color3Value.Changed**

The below example, assuming all referenced objects existed, would print the
Color3Value's new value each time it changed. In the example below it would
print _"0.196078, 0.196078, 0.196078"_.

```lua
local value = Instance.new("Color3Value")
value.Parent = workspace

value.Changed:Connect(function(NewValue)
	print(NewValue)
end)

value.Value = Color3.fromRGB(50, 50, 50)
```

**Expected output:** "0.196078, 0.196078, 0.196078"

### Event: Color3Value.changed

**Signature:** `Color3Value.changed(value: Color3)`

> **Deprecated:** This deprecated event is a variant of [Color3Value.Changed](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Color3Value.md) which should be used instead.

*Security: None*

**Parameters:**

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `value` | `Color3` |  |
