HyperPhysics: Color Force
written by Carl Rod Nave
This HyperPhysics webpage contains a description of "color force" and "color charge." These are concepts in the "quark model," which explains interactions of protons, neutrons, and other particles. Numerous links provide background information.

This page is part of the HyperPhysics Collection--many short, illustrated pages on various areas of physics and astronomy.
