Color Health is an oncologist-led virtual cancer care company that provides screening, early detection, diagnosis, treatment guidance, and survivorship support to employers, health plans, unions, consultants, and public-sector organizations. Originally founded as a genomics testing company (Color Genomics), Color now operates a virtual clinical platform combining at-home testing kits, preventive health programs, and AI-assisted cancer care. For integration partners Color publishes an External API V1 at api.color.com/api/v1/external — 13 operations across eligibility entries, population reporting (participants, samples, results, self-reported results) and a lab/LIMS sample lifecycle — documented at docs.color.com/reference, alongside SAML-based SSO and SFTP/PGP file transfer for eligibility, claims, and member-event data.

Color publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Eligibility API, Populations API, and Samples API. Tagged areas include Company, Health, Healthcare, Genomics, and Oncology.

Color’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, changelog, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 29 more developer resources.

scored 2026-10-31 · rubric v0.25.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
  • Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/color/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/color to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

    the previous round carried a 1-operation spec hand-reconstructed from prose. Removed a WellKnown pointer that was backed
    by an all-404 probe, and did not emit SDKs, RateLimits, Pricing, Roadmap or StatusPage pointers because none of those
    surfaces exist.
