I was curious as to whether there is a color equivalent of magnetic field in CCD. The answers here suggest there is, but only at femtometre scales due to confinement. Is this the case also for the quark-gluon plasmas postulated in neutron stars and the early universe?

Well, it is models all the way, but yes. Here the analog of the QED magnetic field is called Glasma !

Strong color electromagnetic fields (Glasma)

-remnant of the colliding CGCs (saturated gluonicstates)

-can be treated as weak-coupling, classical fields

-decay rapidly

etc. etc.

Also here by the same author.

Ordinary electromagnetic fields and non-Abelian color Yang-Mills fields called a glasma.I explain how they are created in collisions, how strong they are, and how important

As far as I found out, it is a model to be applied to the quark gluon plasma studied at LHC , but I expect if successful it would apply for the quark-gluon plasma in cosmology too.
