We study the phenomenological constraints on these particles arising from the Tevatron and LHC7 measurements and compare them with those on their color-singlet counterparts Z' and W'. We find that the color octets fare better than the singlets in that they generate a lower A(C), a lower high-invariant mass cross section at LHC7 and a lower same sign top-pair cross section. However, they also generate a lower A(FB) than their color-singlet counterparts.engopenAccessarticle89900033607120000410.1103/PhysRevD.89.095009Charge assymetryModels2-s2.0-84900866733
