The recent observation of a hadronic resonance in the proton-neutron system with isospin and spin-parity raises the possibility of producing other novel six-quark dibaryon configurations allowed by QCD. A dramatic example of an exotic six-quark color-singlet system is the charge , isospin , state which couples strongly to . The width and decay properties of such six-quark resonances could be regarded as manifestations of 鈥渉idden-color鈥?six-quark configurations, a first-principle prediction of QCD - -color gauge theory for the deuteron distribution amplitude. Other implications and possible future experiments are discussed.
