Custom Exiting Animation: animating Text's color

[vovacodes]

I've been trying to create a custom exit animation for an <Animated.Text/> component that would also animate out its color. But it doesn't seem to work.

Do Layout Animations support animating color at all?

const CHARACTER_EXITING = useMemo(() => {
    const fadeOutUp = new FadeOutUp().build();

    return (values: ExitAnimationsValues) => {
      "worklet";

      const { initialValues, animations, callback } = fadeOutUp(values);

      // Also animate the color of the <Animated.Text/> component
      animations.color = withTiming(exitColor.value, { duration: 200 });
      initialValues.color = color;

      return { initialValues, animations, callback };
    };
  }, [index, exitColor, color]);
