  We show that requiring the quark partition function to be color singlet of
SU(3) color gauge group leads to reordering the thermodynamic potential in
terms of the colorless multi-quark modes ($q{\bar q}, qqq, {\bar q}{\bar
q}{\bar q}, ...$) at any given temperature. In accord with the "preconfinement"
property of QCD, under a suitable confining mechanism, these could evolve into
color singlet hadrons/baryons at low temperatures. At fairly high temperatures
these multi-quark color singlet structures propagate in the plasma like
hadronic modes, just as in the more familiar low temperature phase. This
suggests that there exists a strong correlation in the plasma at all
temperatures which is in conformity with lattice results.
