如果有人发现了这个。你最好使用jQuery UI版本，因为它可以在所有浏览器上运行。颜色插件在Safari和Chrome浏览器中存在问题。只是有时候有用。

Bitstorm拥有我见过的最好的jquery彩色动画插件。这是对jquery颜色项目的改进。它还支持rgba。

http://www.bitstorm.org/jquery/color-animation/

试试这个:

(function($) {  

            var i = 0;  

            var someBackground = $(".someBackground");  
            var someColors = [ "yellow", "red", "blue", "pink" ];  


            someBackground.css('backgroundColor', someColors[0]);  

            window.setInterval(function() {  
                i = i == someColors.length ? 0 : i;  
                someBackground.animate({backgroundColor: someColors[i]}, 3000);  
                i++;  
            }, 30);  

})(jQuery);

我也有同样的问题，并通过包含jQuery UI来修复它。以下是完整的脚本:

<!-- include Google's AJAX API loader -->
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<!-- load JQuery and UI from Google (need to use UI to animate colors) -->
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("jqueryui", "1.5.2");
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#menu ul li.item').hover(
    function() {
        $(this).stop().animate({backgroundColor:'#4E1402'}, 300);
        }, function () {
        $(this).stop().animate({backgroundColor:'#943D20'}, 100);
    });
});
</script>

ColorBlend插件完全是你想要的

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/colorBlend

这里是我的高亮代码

$("#container").colorBlend([{
    colorList:["white",  "yellow"], 
    param:"background-color",
    cycles: 1,
    duration: 500
}]);
