None of the following did I know when I created with Talens Rembrandt pastel crayons this 76 x 56 cms drawing on Arches Platine paper - the first of two made in 2014 - and after reading the entry in Wikiwand I am not much more the wiser... ”Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles’ strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The color charge of quarks and gluons is completely unrelated to visual perception of color, because it is a property that has almost no manifestation at distances above the size of an atomic nucleus. The term color was chosen because the charge responsible for the strong force between particles can be analogized to the three primary colors of human vision: red, green, and blue. Another color scheme is “red, yellow, and blue”, using paint, rather than light as the perceptible analogy. Particles have corresponding antiparticles. A particle with red, green, or blue charge has a corresponding antiparticle in which the color charge must be the anticolor of red, green, and blue, respectively, for the color charge to be conserved in particle-antiparticle creation and annihilation...”
