This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped.

This element has been deprecated in SVG 1.1 Second Edition and may be removed in a future version of SVG. It provides no features not already available by using the <animate> element. So, authors should use the <animate> element instead.
The <animateColor> SVG element specifies a color transformation over time.
