Re:Some quicky info

I kinda liked the Wiki article which mentioned the quarks' colours...
with the antiquarks anti-colours, I just wonder whether anti red would be cyan, anti-green, would be magenta and anti blue would be yellow, as suggested by this ?

Of course, I understood this colour case is only a paradigm and doesn't reflect any visible characteristics (also because there's no such thing as a colour, at this subatomic scale)...

But I would not be surprised if some colour-coordination actually reflected what happens at the quark level.

Yeah. Let's attack the physics someone is talking about because they had a dangling participle that made it, in the literal, confusing. That's real syncretism right there.
