title: JQuery background color animate not working
body: <p>I want to change the background color of 'exampleDiv' from the original white background to when I call the code below to immediate change the background yellow and then fade back to the original white background.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#exampleDiv").animate({ backgroundColor: "yellow" }, "fast");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this code does not work.</p>
  
  <p>I have only the JQuery core and JQuery UI linked to my web page.</p>
  
  <p>Why doesn't the code above work?</p>
