Can't animate color value of materials

Animation

-

In the animation window it is possible to enter a new value for any of the rgba channels and the curve changes appropriately, however the value is returned to the default after the enter button is pressed.

Reproduced with:
Unity Version 4.3.1f1 (cebd4d9b5122)
Unity Version 4.3.2f1 (0517a5ae8669)

[edit]
If you want to animate color values with the animation window with Unity 4.3+, you need to use the Animator component. The old component (Animation) is legacy and is not in active development anymore.

[edit]
You can convert the legacy animations to the new system to animate the material properties in the new Animation Window, take a look at this thread:

    This issue also applies to animated texture offsets, as of version 4.3.3. It's been a bug since 4.3.0.

    Uh, this is a pretty big issue. Kind of need to animate colors and alphas here, guys.

    This is a huge problem for us at the moment, we're unable to animate colors at all! Funny thing is, old animations still work, and they can also be edited. It's just newly created animations that break.
