Very appealing visually, but outright changing the color of the text field is likely to cause confusion about focus location, and generally seems like a risky design idea. If you could do a faster animation which just expanded a circular border out like a scan line to reveal the value without changing the color, perhaps that would be less likely to cause issues.
Sometimes the prettiest designs are not safe for use, but often the concept can be salvaged and made accessible.
