Jquery switch through color instead of fade
<p>how can i have jquery switch between the array below on an elements font color?</p>

<pre><code>colors1 = ["ffffff", "eeeeff", "ddddff", "ccccff", "bbbbff", "aaaaff", "9999ff", "8888ff", "7777ff", "6666ff", "5555ff", "4444ff", "3333ff", "2222ff", "1111ff", "0000ff"]
</code></pre>

<p>Basically what I'd like to do is have an element fade in and out using this array of colors. I tried using jQuery's animate  (animate({opacity:1}, { queue: false, duration: 1500 })), but since we use IE at work 100% of the time, the opacity animation looks very poor in IE6/7. It looks really junky trough the animation and so does fadeIn and fadeOut. I dont have issues with filter as i know to remove it once the animation or fade is complete. I believe the new animation api removes filter as well automatically.</p>
