We construct an algebra of (local) dynamical variables which satisfies the triality rule for quarks and an exact superselection rule between leptons and quarks. This algebra is isomorphic to a noncommutative Jordan algebra; hence, it is power associative. Inner derivations are constructed explicitly: Their algebra is isomorphic to Lie SU(3); the latter can be identified with the group of color symmetry.
