color插件只有4kb，比UI库便宜多了。当然，你会想要使用一个像样的版本的插件，而不是那些bug百出的老东西，不能处理Safari和崩溃时，过渡太快。由于不提供缩小版本，您可能喜欢测试各种压缩器，并制作自己的最小版本。在这种情况下，YUI得到了最好的压缩，只需要2317字节，因为它是如此之小-下面是:

(function (d) {
    d.each(["backgroundColor", "borderBottomColor", "borderLeftColor", "borderRightColor", "borderTopColor", "color", "outlineColor"], function (f, e) {
        d.fx.step[e] = function (g) {
            if (!g.colorInit) {
                g.start = c(g.elem, e);
                g.end = b(g.end);
                g.colorInit = true
            }
            g.elem.style[e] = "rgb(" + [Math.max(Math.min(parseInt((g.pos * (g.end[0] - g.start[0])) + g.start[0]), 255), 0), Math.max(Math.min(parseInt((g.pos * (g.end[1] - g.start[1])) + g.start[1]), 255), 0), Math.max(Math.min(parseInt((g.pos * (g.end[2] - g.start[2])) + g.start[2]), 255), 0)].join(",") + ")"
        }
    });

    function b(f) {
        var e;
        if (f && f.constructor == Array && f.length == 3) {
            return f
        }
        if (e = /rgb\(\s*([0-9]{1,3})\s*,\s*([0-9]{1,3})\s*,\s*([0-9]{1,3})\s*\)/.exec(f)) {
            return [parseInt(e[1]), parseInt(e[2]), parseInt(e[3])]
        }
        if (e = /rgb\(\s*([0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)\%\s*,\s*([0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)\%\s*,\s*([0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?)\%\s*\)/.exec(f)) {
            return [parseFloat(e[1]) * 2.55, parseFloat(e[2]) * 2.55, parseFloat(e[3]) * 2.55]
        }
        if (e = /#([a-fA-F0-9]{2})([a-fA-F0-9]{2})([a-fA-F0-9]{2})/.exec(f)) {
            return [parseInt(e[1], 16), parseInt(e[2], 16), parseInt(e[3], 16)]
        }
        if (e = /#([a-fA-F0-9])([a-fA-F0-9])([a-fA-F0-9])/.exec(f)) {
            return [parseInt(e[1] + e[1], 16), parseInt(e[2] + e[2], 16), parseInt(e[3] + e[3], 16)]
        }
        if (e = /rgba\(0, 0, 0, 0\)/.exec(f)) {
            return a.transparent
        }
        return a[d.trim(f).toLowerCase()]
    }
    function c(g, e) {
        var f;
        do {
            f = d.css(g, e);
            if (f != "" && f != "transparent" || d.nodeName(g, "body")) {
                break
            }
            e = "backgroundColor"
        } while (g = g.parentNode);
        return b(f)

如果你不想只使用jQuery核心功能来动画你的背景，试试这个:

jQuery(".usercontent").mouseover(function() {
      jQuery(".usercontent").animate({backgroundColor:'red'}, 'fast', 'linear', function() {
            jQuery(this).animate({
                backgroundColor: 'white'
            }, 'normal', 'linear', function() {
                jQuery(this).css({'background':'none', backgroundColor : ''});
            });
        });

在没有jQueryUI的情况下使用动画效果更改背景颜色:

selector.css({
    backgroundColor: "#555",
    transition: "background-color 1.8s"
});

使用CSS3-Transitions。支持很棒(所有现代浏览器，甚至IE)。使用Compass和SASS可以很快完成:

#foo {background:red; @include transition(background 1s)}
#foo:hover {background:yellow}

纯CSS:

#foo {
background:red;
-webkit-transition:background 1s;
-moz-transition:background 1s;
-o-transition:background 1s;
transition:background 1s
}
#foo:hover {background:yellow}

我写了一篇关于这个主题的德语文章:http://www.solife.cc/blog/animation-farben-css3-transition.html
