   Somewhere I read that any elementary particle with spin 2 must be   
   a graviton.   
   If you take that spin 2 particle and add QCD colour-anticolour,   
   that is colour-anticolour as for a gluon, would the QCD quality   
   automatically make the new particle a strong and short-range   
   force carrier or could the spin 2 quality determine it as a   
   long-range force carrier?  If the former, then a new weak   
   colour force would be required (if a graviton did indeed exist   
   and have a weak colour element) but if the latter then QCD colour   
   could fit the bill?  There could be two kinds of graviton, with   
   and without colour with different force properties.   
      
   Likewise, would a higgsball or graviball or darkball (all with   
   colour-anticolour properties) stretching out >galaxy-wide   
   have to have an inherently weak colour force?  One of my naive   
   models for a dark particle has no properties except QCD colour.   
   It could form a darkball/graviball where only QCD colour is   
   exchanged at interactions.
