Common lore implies that $N$ -color QCD with massive quarks has no useful order parameters that can be nontrivial at zero baryon density. However, such order parameters do exist when there are $n_{f}$ quark flavors with a common mass and $d \equiv g c d (n_{f}, N) > 1$ . These theories have a $Z_{d}$ color-flavor center symmetry arising from intertwined color center transformations and cyclic flavor permutations. Furthermore, the symmetry realization depends on the temperature, baryon chemical potential, and value of $n_{f} / N$ , with implications for conformal window studies and dense quark matter.
