"Colour charge", which has nothing to do with colors though. Its like electric charge but instead of two opposite(called posotive and negative), it hace three "colours" which obeys R+G+B=colourless(white) just lije positive+negative equal zero

There are still opposite charges - each colour has an 'anti'-colour. So R+~~R~~=colourless G+~~G~~=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.

You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it's worth.

Yeah but aren't they the antimatter version of thoose colour charges? Didn't mention it for that reason but yeah mesons
