I'm using Visual Studio and Discord.Net v2.1.1.

I've searched all over, but nothing I've found shows me a way to be able to modify a role's colour (or IRole).

Is there any other way to do this? What am I doing wrong?

Context.Guild.GetRole(roleid).ModifyAsync(???);

edit: this worked for me: await Context.Guild.GetRole(roleid).ModifyAsync(x => x.Color = new Color(1, 4, 150));

    For future reference, this is actually documented in the respective `XProperties` documentation, in this case, [RoleProperties](https://docs.stillu.cc/api/Discord.RoleProperties.html) – Still Jul 17 '19 at 06:19

Short Answer

In Discord.Net, most if not all ModifyAsync takes an Action<T> as its parameter, and its documentation and such usage is in its respective XProperties documentation. In this case, RoleProperties.

Long Answer

Since these methods all take an Action<T>, we can take a look at what Action is on Microsoft .NET API Documentation. From the documentation, we learn that it is a delegate, and the easiest way to make a delegate is with a lambda expression (also see Func vs. Action vs. Predicate).

From this, we can come up the following,

var role = guild.GetRole(id);
await role.ModifyAsync(role =>
{
    // Assign the color to a new Discord.Color struct of color [123, 123, 123]
    role.Color = new Color(123, 123, 123);
});

All ModifyAsyncs work more or less the same.
