2734: "Electron Color"

Title text: There's quark color, but that's not really color--it's just an admission by 20th century physicists that numbers are boring.

Protons are red, neutrons are grey.

Neutrons and protons are a combination of red, green, and blue, so they're white.

I always thought of electrons as being blue, because they're negatively charged. And protons are orange.
