Morphing from color to color should be possible, perhaps by modifying the CSS background-color property using rgb(x,y,z) values. You could increment each value individually, or each in a repeating sequence. I'm not sure value changing method would produce the most visually pleasing results, but that would be something to tinker with. Alternatively, you could (again) use a 1x1 pixel animated gif fading from R to G to B (using three layers and tweening in ImageReady), and letting the background-repeat property tile it in both X and Y directions. The latter would be much less CPU intensive, making your script that much more lightweight.
