I have. I'm very familiar with the Standard Model.
Let's just concentrate on one piece first.
When you say
"change a neutron into a proton through color change"
I'm not sure what you're saying. When a neutron decays to a proton (plus
e- and neutrino), it's because a d quark has "decayed" to a u quark plus
W-, and then the W- decays to an e- plus neutrino. But this decay is a
flavor change, not a color change. The color of the "decaying" quark
stays the same. It has to, because otherwise its containing nucleon
would no longer be color-neutral.
