  Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual
  report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by

  Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
  Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
  has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
  liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
  paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
  successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
  registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
  matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
  appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.

  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
  The following documents filed by Color Kinetics Incorporated (the
  "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
  are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:
  (a)
  The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1, File
  Number 333-114386, as declared effective by the Commission on June
  21, 2004 (the "Registration Statement").
  (b)
  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
  the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
  Registration Statement.
  (c)
  The description of the Registrant's common stock contained in
  the registration statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on
  June 14, 2004 under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
  1934, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
  updating such description.
  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
  13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
  post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been
  sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
  to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part
  hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  The validity of the securities registered hereby is being passed upon for
  the Registrant by Foley Hoag LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a Delaware
  corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers under
  certain conditions. Article Seventh of the Registrant's certificate of
  incorporation provides that it shall indemnify each person who at any time is,
  or shall have been, one of the Registrant's directors or officers and was or is
  a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
  completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
  or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of the
  Registrant's directors or officers, or is or was serving at the Registrant's
  request as a director, officer, trustee of, or in similar capacity with,
  another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
  against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
  in settlement incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding,
  to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
  currently in effect or amended in the future. No amendment to or repeal of

  Table of Contents
  the provisions of Article Seventh of the Registrant's certificate of
  incorporation shall deprive a director or officer of the benefit of those
  Articles with respect to any act or failure occurring prior to such amendment
  or repeal.
  Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
  Delaware corporation to adopt a charter provision eliminating or limiting the
  personal liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for
  breach of fiduciary duty as directors, provided that the provision may not
  eliminate or limit the liability of directors for:
  •
  any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
  corporation or its stockholders;
  •
  any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
  intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  •
  any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock purchase
  that is illegal under Section 174 of the Delaware General
  Corporation Law; or
  •
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper
  personal benefit.
  Article Ninth of the Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides
  that, to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
  none of the Registrant's directors shall be personally liable to the Registrant
  or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of that
  director's breach of fiduciary duty as one of the Registrant's directors. No
  amendment to or repeal of the provisions of Article Ninth shall apply to or
  have any effect on the liability or the alleged liability of any of the
  Registrant's directors with respect to any act or failure to act of that
  director occurring before the amendment or repeal. A principal effect of
  Article Ninth is to limit or eliminate the potential liability of the
  Registrant's directors for monetary damages arising from breaches of their duty
  of care, unless the breach involves one of the four exceptions described above.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also authorizes a
  Delaware corporation to obtain insurance on behalf of its directors and
  officers against liability incurred by them in those capacities. The
  Registrant has procured a directors' and officers' liability and company
  reimbursement liability insurance policy that insures (a) the
  Registrant's
  directors and officers against losses, above a deductible amount, arising from
  specified types of claims made against them by reason of enumerated acts done
  or attempted by the Registrant's directors or officers and (b) the Registrant
  against losses, above a deductible amount, arising from any of the specified
  types of claims, but only if the Registrant is required or permitted to
  indemnify its directors or officers for those losses under statutory or common
  law or under provisions of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.

  S-1, File Number 333-114386, filed on April 9, 2004.
  Item 9. Undertakings.
  1.
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
  information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
  in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
  registration statement.
  (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona
  fide
  offering thereof.
  (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
  of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
  the offering.
  2. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
  determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
  Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
  Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
  report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
  reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
  registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona
  fide
  offering thereof.
  3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
  Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
  Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
  has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
  liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
  paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
  successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
  registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
  matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
  appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.
