the "imaginary colors" isn't my statement, that is a quote straight out of Britanica.com on QCD and the "color" of quarks.

I wasn't fighting with you, and yes, you are well astute and studied, which is awesome. So much so, that I will add a couple of retractive sentences to ensure people don't think they are "colored" quarks, though, like I said, none of us know since QCD is a theory.

Regardless, I appreciate your contribution to the dialog.

Have a happy weekend as well.
