```
open fun evaluate(
    fraction: Float, 
    startValue: Any!, 
    endValue: Any!
): Any!
```

This function returns the calculated in-between value for a color given integers that represent the start and end values in the four bytes of the 32-bit int. Each channel is separately linearly interpolated and the resulting calculated values are recombined into the return value.
