an action done under color of law adjusts the law to the circumstance, yet said apparently legal action contravenes the law
So if for instance a health care worker were to inject an experimental substance without informing the recipient of the potential hazards, this would be a color of law violation: informed consent is required by federal law (an adaptation of the Nuremberg code) for all instances of said injection.
Such hazards do not need to be verified during an ongoing experiment, there only needs to be evidence of it. The health care worker is required to be aware of all evidence gathered during the experiment, whether that evidence has been verified or not.
For example, per the CDC "the vaccines have not been proven to be the cause of death (paraphrased)" =/= proof that it is NOT the cause of death. The important takeaway being that during the experiment, the participant MUST be informed of this evidence until it has been shown to be NOT applicable.
As another example, if a Governor were to require masks during a pandemic where scientific studies show that masks increase the likelihood of illness or death this would be a color of law violation.
I am unsure if a Store Manager would be liable in the same way as a Governor or other official since this violation is applicable to those acting in an "official capacity." There may be some corporate law that would categorize them as such due to the power such a person has over an employee's life and livelihood.
Such color of law violations carry with it life imprisonment or the death penalty if it can be shown that such actions resulted in another's death. With the vaccines that is trivial to show (a single honest positive result of an autopsy would do it). For masks its not so easy, but still within the realm of the possible given all the evidence that supports the assertion that masks do more harm than good.
