<p>The jQuery UI effects core extends the <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/animate" title="Effects/animate">animate</a> function to be able to animate colors as well. It's heavily used by the class transition feature and it's able to color animate the following properties:
</p>
<ul><li> <b>backgroundColor</b>
</li><li> <b>borderBottomColor</b>
</li><li> <b>borderLeftColor</b>
</li><li> <b>borderRightColor</b>
</li><li> <b>borderTopColor</b>
</li><li> <b>color</b>
</li><li> <b>outlineColor</b>
</li></ul>
<p>with one of the following combinations:
</p>
<ul><li> <b>hex (#FF0000)</b>
</li><li> <b>rgb (rgb(255,255,255))</b>
</li><li> <b>names ("black")</b>
</li></ul>
<p><br />
</p><p><div class="options list"><table class="options examples" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th></tr></thead><tbody>
</table><b class="options">Example:</b><table class="options examples" cellspacing="0"><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th></tr></thead><tbody>
