We discuss a formalism in which high-$p_T$ dijet rapidity gaps are identified by energy flow in the interjet region. When the gap energy, $Q_{\rm gap}$, is sufficiently large, the cross section may be computed from standard factorization theorems. For $p_T\gg Q_T\ggΛ_{\rm QCD}$, this is a two-scale perturbative problem, in which we may resum logarithms of $Q_{\rm gap}/p_T$. The cross section computed as a function of $Q_{\rm gap}$ reproduces many of the features of the Tevatron dijet gap data. The factorized cross section gives meaning to the color content of the hard scattering.
