See A213939 for representative bracelets of a color class defined by a signature, given by a partition.
If color c[j] is written as j, for j from {1, 2, ... ,n}, the representative multisets, corresponding to the bracelets in question, are the ones with the least sum of their members.
E.g., n=4, m=3: signature [2,1,1] (partition of n with 4 parts), representative multiset (written as an ordered list by convention) [1,1,2,3], with the two representative bracelets 1123 and 1213, both taken cyclically.
Number of bracelets with n beads over a n-ary alphabet {a1,a2,...,an} such that #(w,a1) >= #(w,a2) >= ... >= #(w,ak) >= 0, where #(w,x) counts the letters x in word w. - Andrew Howroyd, Dec 21 2017
