You'd be forgiven for not knowing exactly what Color is or does. The sordid history of this app, and its parent company Color Labs, is a complicated one. Headed by Bill Nguyen, famous for founding Lala, the incredible music streaming service that was purchased by Apple and promptly closed down, Color Labs received $41 million in funding for its initial app Color for Facebook. Several fundamental changes and a year and a half later, the company is reportedly going to close the books on itself. And I still don't know what it does.

According to VentureBeat, the following is part of an email that was sent to employees of Color Labs late last night:

I hope is all well with you.  As you may or may not have heard, Color is going through a number of changes.  Last week, the Board and major shareholders voted to wind down the company.
