  A general QCD light front formalism to compute many-body color charge
correlation functions due to quarks in the proton was
constructed~\cite{Dumitru:2018vpr}. These enable new studies of color charge
distributions in the nucleon. The analogies between such correlation functions
to electric and magnetization charge densities in the proton and also to
nucleon-nucleon correlations in the nucleus are discussed. Including the color
charge correlations leads naturally to the removal of infrared divergences that
occurs in two- and three-gluon exchange interactions in $q\bar q$-proton
scattering. Extensions to include gluonic color charge correlations are
discussed.
