Abstract: We compute the contribution of all multiple covers of an isolated rigid embedded holomorphic annulus, stretching between Lagrangians, to the skein-valued count of open holomorphic curves in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. The result agrees with the predictions from topological string theory and we use it to prove the Ooguri-Vafa formula that identifies the colored HOMFLYPT invariants of a link with a count of holomorphic curves ending on the conormal Lagrangian of the link in the resolved conifold. This generalizes our previous work which proved the result for the fundamental color.
