This is what I have:
.box{
background:#FFF;
-webkit-transition: background 0.5s;
}
.box:hover{
background:#000;
}
But this app
Just redifine your transition in the over pseudo element.
.box{
background: white;
-webkit-transition: background 5s;
}
.box:hover{
background: olive;
-webkit-transition: background 1s;
}

Either use an animation (only in webkit currently), or use JS to add and remove the properties, they will still animate.
