COMMENTS

A coloring of a simple graph is a choice of color for each graph vertex such that no two vertices sharing the same edge have the same color. A213441 counts those colorings of labeled graphs on n vertices that use exactly two colors. This sequence is 1/4 of A213441 (1/4 of column 2 of Table 1 in Read). - Peter Bala, Apr 11 2013
A047863 counts colorings of labeled graphs on n vertices that use two or fewer colors. - Peter Bala, Apr 11 2013

a(n) ~ c * 2^(n^2/4+n-3/2)/sqrt(Pi*n), where c = Sum_{k = -infinity..infinity} 2^(-k^2) = 2.128936827211877... if n is even and c = Sum_{k = -infinity..infinity} 2^(-(k+1/2)^2) = 2.12893125051302... if n is odd. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 24 2013
