As of today you can achieve what you want!

You can use automatic property calculation!

In your css or template set background-color to the final color.

{{bgColor}}

In your animation definition :

animations: [
trigger('state', [
  state('inactive', style({
    'color': '#606060',
    'background-color' : 'transparent'

  })),
  state('active', style({
    'color': '#fff',
    'background-color': '*' // <====
  })),
  transition('inactive <=> active', animate('100ms ease-out'))
])
]

something like this should work!
