I've done some rudimentary animation with Windows bitmaps.  I'm not sure
what you're asking for when you say "secret invisible color"...

If you mean can your program construct a bitmap (perhaps a composite of
several bitmaps) that is not visible and then bitblt it to the screen
all at once when it's fully constructed, the answer is yes.
