    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.From.RGB = RGB(Red:=255, Green:=255, Blue:=0) 
    clrEffect.To.RGB = RGB(Red:=0, Green:=255, Blue:=255)
