This color force is mediated by massless gluons. Since nobody has ever observed a isolated quark or a gluon, they always come in pairs as baryons or mesons. Three quarks in the baryon and a quark anti-quark in the meson always make a color singlet also called color confinement.
Color force is a short range force.
Only quarks and gluons carry color charge. Weak force is also a short range force. Unlike, gluons, the Weak force carriers are very massive this explains their short range. Quarks and leptons experience Weak force. Electromagnetic force Electromagnetic force binds the electrons to the nucleus.
