Jquery, animate background colour?

Question

Hi, is it possible to animate the background colour of an element in jquery without using any plugins?

Maybe something other than animate would be better? The effect I'm going for is for the background colour of an element to animate to another colour, and then back to the original colour.

How would I achieve this?

Thanks

Well, you should really use the jquery color plugin. What's the issue with using plugins?
