> `Background` and `Border` objects are deeply immutable, but not

> Background {
> fills = [
> BackgroundFill {

> Since backgrounds are deeply immutable, changing the region's background to

> Animating the background color using a CSS transition therefore requires the

> As of now, only `Color`, `Point2D`, and `Point3D` are interpolatable. Each of

> Mirroring the CSS specification, the `Interpolatable` interface defines

>
> | Interpolation type | Description |
> |---|---|
> | default | Component types that implement `Interpolatable` are interpolated
> by calling the `interpolate(Object, double)}` method. |
> | linear | Two components are combined by linear interpolation such that `t =
> 0` produces the start value, and `t = 1` produces the end value. This
> interpolation type is usually applicable for numeric components. |
> | discrete | If two components cannot be meaningfully combined, the
> intermediate component value is equal to the start value for `t < 0.5` and
> equal to the end value for `t >= 0.5`. |
> | pairwise | Two lists are combined by pairwise interpolation. If the start
> list has fewer elements than the target list, the missing elements are copied
