    Dim effBlinds As Effect
    Dim tlnTiming As TimeLine
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape
    Dim animColorEffect As AnimationBehavior
    Dim clrEffect As ColorEffect

'Adds rectangle and sets effect and animation
Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
    .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
    Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)
Set effBlinds = t.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, _
    effectId:=msoAnimEffectBlinds)
Set animColorEffect = tlnTimming.MainSequence(1).Behaviors _
    .Add(Type:=msoAnimTypeColor)
Set clrEffect = animColorEffect.ColorEffect

'Sets the animation effect starting and ending colors
clrEffect.<strong>From</strong>.RGB = RGB(Red:=255, Green:=255, Blue:=0)
clrEffect.To.RGB = RGB(Red:=0, Green:=255, Blue:=255)
