Stick this at the top of your layout somewhere.

local function ColourGradient(perc) -- for colouring in
	if perc <= 0.5 then
		return 255, perc*510, 0
	else
		return 510 - perc*510, 255, 0
	end
end

and then replace

bar.value:SetText("|cff33EE44"..numberize(cur) .."|r.".. d.."%")

with

bar.value:SetText(string.format("|cff%02x%02x%02x%s|r.%s%%", ColourGradient(min/max), numberize(cur), d)

Hope this helps.
