    Can black holes have net color charge? can a BHs help separate quarks?

    similar to the rough picture of how BHs radiate if I put a proton next to a BH can one of the quarks be absorbed into the BH and the other two escape? I don't really understand confinement very well but does the confinement picture change next to BH horizon?
