For a PTT lab draw, a light blue top tube is typically used. This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting during the test.
The color of the top tube for a BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) blood draw is typically gold or red-gray, depending on the manufacturer. It is important to verify the specific tube color with the healthcare provider or laboratory performing the blood draw to ensure accurate collection.
A green-top tube, containing lithium heparin, is typically used to collect blood for phosphorus level testing.
Pink could be a great choice for a PTT (Pectoralis major trigger point) examination to create a contrast against the skin and help highlight any tender areas or trigger points.
For a HgA1c you would need a lavender top tube.
A light blue-top tube is commonly used for partial thromboplastin time (PTT) testing, as it contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant.

You can only add a Draw 4 if you are out of that color that is on top (if you use it anyways, than a person can call you out for still having that color in your hand and you will have to either take the whole discarded pile or draw 4 - it depends on how you want to play.) Back to your question though, if you don't have another draw 2 but still have the color that is on top, then you have to draw all the Draw 2s. For the most part, only a Draw 2 can go on top of a Draw 2 to free yourself from having to draw the cards.
A CK blood draw typically goes into a red-top tube.
You cannot add a draw 2 on top of a draw 4 card. Nothing beats the Draw 4, it automatically takes your turn away. You can put a Draw 4 on top of a Draw 2 but ONLY if you do not have any more of that color card in your hand. You can also risk putting a Draw 4 on top of a color that you do still hold in your hand, but another player can call your bluff (because by using it you are saying you do not have any of that top color in your hand) and you will either have to take the entire discard pile or draw 4 cards depending on how you want to play.
The color top commonly used for a Complete Blood Count (CBC) draw is lavender. This tube contains the anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to preserve the blood sample and prevent it from clotting.
