Because there doesn't have to be another pair that satisfies that relation. Counterexamples are trivial:
Color the pair blue if its elements are 1 and 0. Color the pair red otherwise.
Color the triplet blue if its elements are 1, -1, and 0. Color the triplet red otherwise.

I read this as saying "There exists and infinite number of x's which satisfy the relation f(x, y) = blue for all values of y over some arbitrary function f()". What am I missing?
