ChromaticNumber on LabeledGraph ​

The fewest colors for the vertices so that adjacent vertices differ.

On LabeledGraph

FindStat's St000098. The colorings in k colors are counted as the covers of the vertices by k independent sets, Σ over the subsets S of (-1)^(n - |S|) i(S)^k with i(S) the independent sets inside S, and the number is the least k with one. The graph with no vertices gives 0.

Called as CombinatorialStat(x, "ChromaticNumber"). The head's page has its examples.
