atom.color could not be animate independently of atom.alpha if the latter was 0.

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Again, not sure of the intent, but it feels wrong. If the alpha var of an animation is set to zero, any value for the color var seems to be ignored. I would think it should still be blended in while the alpha value is 'animated' towards zero.

animate with color set to a random value and alpha = 1



animate with color set to a random value and alpha = 0

Workarounds:
This is a holdover from when I was thinking of color and alpha as being much more "combined" than they are.
