ABSTRACT: Without modifying the Standard Model Lagrangian, a representation of the flavors of elementary fermions (quarks and leptons) is introduced in terms of a triplet of internal colors, each associated with a triplet of three-valued indices. These colors are closely related to the color understood in the chromodynamic sense, and this connection is made explicit. Based on this representation, approximate quantitative constraints on the masses of elementary fermions and the gauge bosons that mediate their interactions are discussed.
