How to update UI Text color in EditMode?

I'm using the following code to update an UI Text's color in EditMode:

 public void Play()
 {
         timer = 0;
         EditorApplication.update += EditorUpdate;
 }

 private void EditorUpdate()
 {
     timer += Time.deltaTime;
     image.color = Color.Lerp(Color.black, Color.white, timer);
     if(timer > 1)
         EditorApplication.update = null;
 }

The Play() function is called from a button of a Custom Editor and it works for sure. It seems like UI Color is not updated in Edit Mode. Any way to make it work?

I'm not sure for certain, but I think the editor window needs a call to redraw for the change to occur. SceneView.RepaintAll();
Or you need to update the Canvas (`Canvas.UpdateAllCanvases` or something)
