Why is this "working" but not actually changing anything?

I am trying to make the characters color fade. When accessing the alpha, its not throwing errors, but when I pause the game it remains at 255 when it should be droping. Since the “Health” variable is changing. Health is capped between 0 - 100.

Here is the part of the code.

public float health;
    public GUIStyle myStyle;
    public bool enable;
    public float multiplier;

    void Start()
    {
        health = 100;
        multiplier = 1;
    }

	
	void Update () 
    {
        SpriteRenderer renderer = this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        renderer.color = new Color(0f, 0f, 0f, health + 155f);

Alpha is a number between 0 and 1. With what you said your alpha will be at minimum 155. Try changing to health / 100
