Make up your mind. Are you talking about electric charge or quark
color?

Both I guess? The color holds the protons, the protons hold the
electrons?

But by the time you get to the level of the proton itself, there's no
net color. It's all internal.

It's impossible to have a nucleus of only photons, my weak memory
therefore presumes the gluon interaction cannot occur with only
photons, therefore the neutrons through the gluon exchange hold the
protons together?

No, gluons are exchanged between quarks. And it's this combination of
quarks and gluons that make up the nucleons. The force holding the
nucleons together, strong as it is, is merely a residual force much
like Van der Waals.

residual of which force (the force of the gluons?)?
