  Evidence is presented in some examples that an adinkra quantum number,
$\chi_{\rm o}$ (arXiv:\ 0902.3830 [hep-th]), seems to play a role with regard
to off-shell 4D, $\cal N$ = 2 SUSY similar to the role of color in QCD. The
vanishing of this adinkra quantum number appears to be a condition required for
when two off-shell 4D, $\cal N$ = 1 supermultiplets form an off-shell 4D, $\cal
N$ = 2 supermultiplet. We also explicitly comment on a deformation of the Lie
bracket and anti-commutator operators that has been extensively and implicitly
used in our work on "Garden Algebras" adinkras, and codes.
