I have checked some example and I seem to have it right, it works with other properties

Answer 1

ColorBlend plug in does exactly what u want

Here is the my highlight code

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