my definition of interestingness is any distinguishing feature. Anything at all that can be used to tell universes apart.

Oh, your definition of interestingness is kinda sorta the opposite of what I thought it was. "Having a monochromatic complete subgraph of a certain size" is not a distinguishing feature of sufficiently large colored complete graphs, because all such graphs have that property.
