Does the no hair's theorem take into account all the elementary particles and forces, and in particular can a black hole have color charge?

There can be no color charge because quarks exist only as color neutral combinations .Even quarks emitted as Hawking radiation would be expected to be color neutral combinations.

  • I was expecting for such answer but let's assume that the strong force have asymptotically free particles – ziv Jan 15 '23 at 16:39

    In a universe without confinement, sure. But note that even net electric charge hasn't been observed for a black hole in nature. – Connor Behan Jan 16 '23 at 00:42

    Using the idea of color charge on a black hole , 3 black holes with different colours could evaporate and lose mass and combine to become a proton. The reverse of this is that a proton with mass added to it could become 3 black holes However a proton with mass added to it becomes a neutron. So black holes having color charge does not seem likely –  Jan 16 '23 at 18:08
