changing gui texture colors based on health

Question

I want the players GUI texture to change color based on the players health however since you cannot use operators with int variables since something like the example below doesn't work I am out of ideas any help would be appreciated thanks again.

Example of what I tried

var healthTex : Texture2D; var healthMid : Texture2D;

function Update() { if(player health <= 50) { healthTex = health mid; } }

You can have an array of colors and make player's health int as an index in the array then you can assign the color to material's main color.

Ex:

 Color[] health_colors = { Color.black, Color.blue, Color.cyan, Color.gray, Color.green, Color.red, Color.magenta, Color.white, Color.yellow, new Color (255,0,0,255) };    
 int player_health = 50; 
 int color_index = player_health /10;
 renderer.material.color = health_colors [color_index];
