I would recommend looking into using AsyncTask to do this (http:// developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html).
You can check against your mp.isPlaying() in the doInBackground portion, use a sleep for some appropriate amount of time if it is still playing (else finish the task), and in onProgressUpdate you can change your color. You can use publishProgress(i); from your doInBackground to pass the iterated color value to your onProgressUpdate to achieve to same color switch functionality you originally wanted. AsyncTask takes a bit to learn, but you'll be glad to have it later!
