They're not pivoting - they are simply iterating.

"Mr. Nguyen said the company had taken the criticism to heart and charted a new course". "Photos might not even be a part of Color in the future, he said". Sounds like a pivot to me.

Huh, strange, I must have missed that paragraph. Totally sounds like you're right.

This actually blew my mind quite a lot.

Color is a damn good proposition and ironically a company that shouldn't pivot and the founder should be stubborn and force his idea down peoples throats. I really really like their end goal idea, and feel like they could get there with a lot of very clever execution.

Heh, it's funny, yesterday I was wondering if Color was still a thing.

It turns out it never was.

Mr. Nguyen said the company had taken the criticism to heart and charted a new course. He fired Color’s president, Peter Pham, and its engineers are building a new version of the app to be released later this summer.
