Using CSS animations, you can simply go from 99.9%to 100%. Just set the initial background color ( #E1FEE0) to within 99.9%, and then the final background color to 100%. If you need to switch the color, just increase the space, and use something like 80%for example .
Example here
p {
display: inline;
animation: background-fade 10s forwards;
}
@keyframes background-fade {
99.9% {
background:#E1FEE0;
}
100% {
background:#000;
}
}
.
