I have the following for .button and .button:hover

transition-property:background; transition-duration:.4s;

.button {

You only need to assign the transition property on the original state. Not the hover state. your code should look like this

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-property:background;
  transition-duration:.4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}

Hope this helps

Pierre Ramirez,

You only need to include the transition properties in the .button rule. That will transition both the hover and off states.
