Looping Animation of text color change using CSS3

I have text that I want to animate. Not on hover, for example but continually changing slowly from white to red and then back to white again.

Here is my CSS code so far:

#countText{
    color: #eeeeee;
    font-family: "League Gothic", Impact, sans-serif;
    line-height: 0.9em;
    letter-spacing: 0.02em;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    text-shadow: 0px 0px 6px ;
    font-size: 210px;
}

Use keyframes and animation property

p {
  animation: color-change 1s infinite;
}

@keyframes color-change {
  0% { color: red; }
  50% { color: blue; }
  100% { color: red; }
}

CSS With Prefixes

p {
    -webkit-animation: color-change 1s infinite;
    -moz-animation: color-change 1s infinite;
    -o-animation: color-change 1s infinite;
    -ms-animation: color-change 1s infinite;
    animation: color-change 1s infinite;
}

@-webkit-keyframes color-change {
    0% { color: red; }
    50% { color: blue; }
    100% { color: red; }
}
@-moz-keyframes color-change {
    0% { color: red; }
    50% { color: blue; }
    100% { color: red; }
}
@-ms-keyframes color-change {
    0% { color: red; }
    50% { color: blue; }
    100% { color: red; }
}
@-o-keyframes color-change {
    0% { color: red; }
    50% { color: blue; }
    100% { color: red; }
}
@keyframes color-change {
    0% { color: red; }
    50% { color: blue; }
    100% { color: red; }
}
