A hybrid equation of state (EoS) for dense matter is presented that satisfies phenomenological constraints from modern compact star (CS) observations which indicate high maximum masses (M~2M⊙) and large radii (R>12 km). The corresponding isospin symmetric EoS is consistent with flow data analyses of heavy-ion collisions. The transition from nuclear to two-flavor color superconducting quark matter at ncrit ~ 0.55 fm-3 is almost a crossover.
