Pipe diagrams have emerged as a powerful framework for flexible lattice surgery compilation and spacetime optimization for the surface code. In contrast, analogous compilation techniques for color code architectures remain largely unexplored, despite the color code’s favorable properties, including reduced qubit overhead for fixed distance d, and transversal single-qubit Clifford gates. In this work, we develop a pipe diagram representation for the triangular color code on the 6.6.6 lattice and establish its correspondence to ZX-diagrammatic descriptions of computation. We present distance-independent constructions of color code pipe diagrams together with explicit realizations of correlation surfaces, stabilizers, and syndrome extraction circuits. This framework enables both macroscopic optimization of logical computations in spacetime and microscopic compilation to executable syndrome extraction circuits. We demonstrate the potential for compact spacetime embeddings with the color code’s geometry. These results provide a foundation for automated lattice surgery compilation and diagrammatic optimization in color code architectures.
