        {
            UI.HealthText.color = Color.Lerp(FullHealth, LowHealth, CurrentHealth);
        }
    }
}

then this is my player UI

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PlayerUI : MonoBehaviour
{
public Text ammoText;
public Text HealthText;
}

Looking at your code, I don’t see you updating healFlashSpeed anywhere. So it looks like you are giving the lerp that takes that time value pretty much the same value every frame. You should change it each frame like so:

healFlashSpeed = healFlashSpeed + Time.deltaTime;

Plus the t value of color.lerp is clamped to 0-1… If you pass a value equal to or more than 1, you will always get the end result (second color passed). To have the interpolation work properly, you need to treat 1 as if it is 100 percent, so 0.25f is 25 percent, 0.5f is 50 percent, etc. But I see that you are starting with a healFlashSpeed of 20f which is going to show 100 percent because its over 1.0f
