Color Labs Inc. (Apple)
Color Labs Inc. was a Palo Alto, California social photo-sharing startup founded in 2011 by Bill Nguyen and Peter Pham. Its Color mobile app let people photograph and browse photos taken nearby, grouping content by proximity and social graph. The company raised roughly $41 million before launch — $25 million from Sequoia Capital, $9 million from Bain Capital Ventures, and $7 million in venture debt from Silicon Valley Bank — and reportedly declined a $200 million acquisition offer from Google. After a March 2011 launch that drew about a million downloads but fell under 100,000 active users by September 2011, the board voted in October 2012 to wind the company down and the service closed at the end of that year. Apple then acqui-hired the remaining engineering team in a talent acquisition reported at roughly $2–7 million. Color Labs never shipped a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal, and it has had no live web or API surface since 2012. Its former domain, color.com, is today operated by the unrelated Color Health, Inc. This profile is retained as a historical record of a Bain Capital Ventures portfolio company; there is no API surface to enrich.
Color Labs Inc. (Apple) is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Color Labs Inc. (Apple) is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Color Labs Inc. (Apple), published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
