C# Unity: Unable to stop Coroutine

Once I call this coroutine I am unable to stop it again and it will just go on forever. I have already tried to call it with a string etc...

this block is in a method that is being called in the update method could that have anything to do with it???

This is my code:

 if (currentAmmo < 2 && isColorFading == false) {

        StartCoroutine (ColourPulse (ammoCounter, initialColor, 2));
        isColorFading = true;

    } else if (currentAmmo >= 2 && isColorFading == true) {

        StopCoroutine (ColourPulse (ammoCounter, initialColor, 2)); 
        ammoCounter.color = initialColor;
        isColorFading = false;
    }

You can also try simple

Coroutine myCoroutine = StartCoroutine(ColourPulse (ammoCounter, initialColor, 2);
StopCoroutine(myCorutine);

because StartCoroutine is a method that returns Coroutine type object that it started.

You problem is simple. In few words, you must keep a reference of your coroutine in order to stop it :

private IEnumerator myCoroutine ;

// [...]

if (currentAmmo < 2 && isColorFading == false) {

    myCoroutine = ColourPulse (ammoCounter, initialColor, 2) ;
    StartCoroutine ( myCoroutine ) ;
    isColorFading = true;

} else if (currentAmmo >= 2 && isColorFading == true) {

    StopCoroutine (myCoroutine); 
    ammoCounter.color = initialColor;
    isColorFading = false;
}
