The density of the number of states of colorless quark-gluon bags is determined. This result is used to calculate the partition function of a gas of bags with van der Waals exclusion of their proper volumes. It is shown that the requirement that the bags be colorless has a decisive influence on the thermodynamic properties of this system and leads to a first-order phase transition between hadronic and quark-gluon matter.
