the flavour is just a property of the quark, like charge it is just something that the particle has which is very hard to explain, and in fact we don;t really know what it is, just that it differs between the quarks. There are 6 falovours of quark; up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom

Actually there are six different kinds of quarks. It's up, down, bottom, top, strange, and charmed.

There's a kick-ass song about them, actually.

Just Google the quark song.

Can someone explain CFL quarkmatter in simpler words?

No, I don't think that is possible. The Wikipedia article on Color-flavor locking says: "Color–flavor locking (CFL) is a phenomenon that is expected to occur in ultra-high-density strange matter, a form of quark matter. The quarks form Cooper pairs, whose color properties are correlated with their flavor properties in a one-to-one correspondence between three color pairs and three flavor pairs. ..."You really can't understand much about this if any simpler words are used - to have any understanding at all of what's going on, you really need to know, at the very least, what a "color" is (as used for quarks), and what a "flavor" is (again, as used for quarks) - basically, these are fancy names for certain properties that quarks have.
