No, I just tried this, and it appears to work fine:

        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
                .blah {
                        background-color: #ccc;
                }
                body {
                        background-color: #fff;
                }
        </style>
        <script src="scriptaculous/lib/prototype.js" type="text/javascript" 
charset="utf-8"></script>
        <script src="scriptaculous/src/scriptaculous.js" 
type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="blah" class="blah">This is a div with a gray background.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        new Effect.Highlight('blah', {startcolor:'#ff99ff'});
</script>

It picks up the end color from the computed style, and works from the 
start color toward it. I did just notice that it doesn't deal well with 
short-form color assignments -- if you have defined your start or 
end-color as #cfc rather than #ccffcc, it just doesn't work (but 
doesn't display any error in Firebug).
