Question Change sprite color when hit

Sorry about my poor english. And this is my first post. I want to change sprite's color to red and back to normal slowly when hit. So I made "Player_hit" animation that change sprite's color property.
But the problem is, I also have Player_right, Player_left animation for player's movement. So when Player_hit animation playing, Player_right and Player_left animation stops instantly and it looks wierd. I don't want this to happen.
Do you have any idea how to play both animation at the same time, or is there other ways to do it? I need your help. I'm struggling with it for 5 days.

I recommend changing the sprite color via a script versus animating it manually. That way you can avoid the quick flash away from it.

This is a great tutorial showcasing what I mean:
