The best answers you're going to get from this question regarding the availability of APIs are from Google itself. It's not likely that some super-secret free API exists that only some Stack Overflow citizens know about, aside from perhaps unauthorized web scraping services like the one you linked to which was closed down.

Using Vision API to to detect image properties coupled with Custom Search is probably your best solution. The results of Vision API's label, landmark, and logo detection can be used as the search expression in Custom Search, and you can use the results of Vision API's image property detection to compute the dominate color to use as imgDominantColor and imgColorType. You could further narrow the search down using imgType, imgSize or other properties.

Update:
Vision API Web Detection has now launched which includes reverse image search features such as matching image and page URLs.
