Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: EasingFunctionProperty

Easing functions allow you to create a variety of specialized animation effects including bouncing, spring oscillations, and various magnitude acceleration and deceleration animations. These functions were designed primarily for 'movement animations' versus color animation (see Easing Function Gallery for examples), however, you might find a scenario for applying an easing function to your ColorAnimation. For example, you could use a PowerEase easing function to create a color animation that animates through colors rapidly at first but slows down.
