OH, I didn't realize you wanted to fade the color! OK, so you need to check out the jQuery color plugin:

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

https://github.com/jquery/jquery-color/

And here's another helpful section of the jQuery docs site:

http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.2/Effects#Color_Animations

I've never actually done this so I won't try to give you code, but I imagine the color plugin will give you the functionality you need.
