Hi Nandan,

The comment for clarification on zero value came during the Last-Call
review:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/spring/d7XCsWsbiTyE588nHNrKhl4woYQ/

There have been previous discussions/suggestions on the list for the color
value 0. I am not able to readily find those threads.

We can revert this change to include the value 0 as a valid color if there
are concerns. Please let us know.

The draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy points to the SPRING draft for
validation so there would not need to be any changes in there.

Thanks,
Ketan
