Personally in this situation I'd say that the colour is not an
identifier, but rather the tuple of {colour,game} is. Of course, people
can still refer to:

But this is implicitly taken to refer to {"green",current-game} or
perhaps {"green",some-other-game-clear-from-context}.
How this relates to resources/representations is beyond me, but I do
think it makes sense to use language consistent with other relevant
specifications, HTTP 1.1 being one such specification.
