"color charge" meaning in English

See color charge in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: color charges [plural]
Etymology: From a loose analogy to the set of primary colors. The charge property has nothing to do with visible color. Head templates: {{en-noun|~}} color charge (countable and uncountable, plural color charges)
  1. (American spelling, nuclear physics, particle physics) In the Standard Model of particle physics, a property possessed by quarks, antiquarks, and gluons that determine rules for how these particles may interact. There are three pairs of colors and anticolors: red, green, blue, and their corresponding anti-colors (e.g. anti-red).
