I am using the following code
```
if (timeLeft>500) {
            [timeCounter setColor:ccc3((500-timeLeft)/500*255, 255, 0)];
    }
    else
    {
            [timeCounter setColor:ccc3(255, (timeLeft)/500*255, 0)];
    }
```
in which timeCounter is a timebar Sprite and timeLeft is a integer running down from 1000.
The aim is to get the color to change from green to yellow and then from yellow to red. That all works when I compile the game and run it on my phone but as I download the version available on the appstore the timebar changes from Cyan to White and then from yellow to red. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a fix or maybe the bug is just appearing in my device. Could anyone please test the app and say what the time counter at the top is colored.

Thanking in advance.

Please someone help. Even feedback about either you are getting the problem is helpful.

The only thing I can see is:
```
if (timeLeft > 500) {
   [timeCounter setColor:ccc3((500-timeLeft)/500*255, 255, 0)];
}
```
Is always going to produce a minus number, which is most likely where your causes lie. Assuming your timer starts at 1000 this will work
```
(timeleft-500)/500*255
```

if timeLeft > 500 makes your red to have negative values. I think you need to use:
```
if (timeLeft>500) {
            [timeCounter setColor:ccc3((500-(timeLeft-500))/500*255, 255, 0)];
}
else
{
    [timeCounter setColor:ccc3(255, (timeLeft)/500*255, 0)];
}
```
I guess your debug build may ignore the negative values but the release build may be doing something different, hence why the live version is having issues.

EDIT: @varedis posted at the same time! problem is his solution will go from YELLOW to GREEN instead

Oh, I see the problem myself now also. Thank you both for the reply.

I'll fix that right away and see if it is OK in the next update.

Such a silly mistake also. No beer for me from now on during programming.

@itlgames: Damn you, I didn't check the colours being produced, just the math ;)
