  <meta name="viewport" content=
    "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Text Color Animation</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
    <h2>GeeksforGeeks</h2>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code: The following code snippets demonstrates the design of the text using some basic CSS properties along with CSS @keyframes rule to change the color of the text to produce the animation effect.

        padding: 0;
    }
 
    div {
        position: absolute;
        top: 50%;
        left: 50%;
        transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    }
 
    h2 {
        font-size: 5em;
        font-family: serif;
        color: transparent;
        text-align: center;
        animation: effect 2s linear infinite;
    }
 
    @keyframes effect {
        0% {
            background: linear-gradient(
                #008000, #00FF00);
            -webkit-background-clip: text;
        }
 
        100% {
            background: linear-gradient(
                #3CE7D7, #000FFF);
