decay of matter is an indirect reference to the reorganization of quarks in matter catalyzed by particles that come from amplified vacuum energy condensation.
You have a point, If an electron/positron pair as fermions can condense from the vacuum, so can a quark pair(aka meson). Their color/flavor is based on the available vacuum energy that the quarks condense from.

QuoteThe vector meson ρ in the presence of external magnetic field has been investigated in the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, where mesons are constructed by infinite sum of quark-loop chains by using random phase approximation. The ρ meson polarization function is calculated to the leading order of 1/N c expansion. It is found that the constituent quark mass increases with magnetic field, the masses of the neutral vector meson ρ0 with spin component sz=0,±1 and the charged vector meson ρ± with sz=0 also increases with magnetic field. However, the mass square of the charged vector meson ρ+ (ρ−) with sz=+1 (sz=−1) decreases linearly with magnetic field and drops to zero at the critical magnetic field eBc≃0.2GeV2, which indicates the possible condensation of charged vector meson in the vacuum. This critical magnetic field is much lower than the value eBc=0.6GeV2 predicted by a point-like vector meson. We also show that if we use lowest Landau level approximation, the mass of the charged vector meson ρ± for sz=±1 cannot drop to zero at high magnetic fields.
The vacuum in strong magnetic field
Ingredients needed for possible superconductivity:
A. Presence of electric charges?
Yes, we have them: there are virtual particles
which may potentially become “real” (= pop up from the vacuum)
and make the vacuum (super)conducting.
B. Reduction to 1+1 dimensions?
Yes, we have this phenomenon: in a very strong magnetic field
the dynamics of electrically charged particles (quarks, in our case)
becomes effectively one-dimensional, because the particles tend
to move along the magnetic field only.
C. Attractive interaction between the like-charged particles?
Yes, we have it: the gluons provide attractive interaction between
the quarks and antiquarks (qu=+2 e/3 and qd=+e/3)
