In this note we consider a finite graph without loops and multiple edges. The colouring of a graph G in λ colours is the colouring of its vertices in such a way that no two of adjacent vertices have the same colours and the number of used colours does not exceed λ [1, 4]. Two colourings of graph G are called different if there exists at least one vertex which changes colour when passing from one colouring to another.
