I assume this refers to colorings of the vertices of the cube. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 06 2007

Number of unoriented colorings of the 16 tetrahedral facets of a hyperoctahedron or of the 16 vertices of a tesseract (4-D cube) using up to n colors. Each chiral pair is counted as one when enumerating unoriented arrangements. The Schläfli symbols for the tesseract and the hyperoctahedron are {4,3,3} and {3,3,4} respectively. Both figures are regular 4-D polyhedra and they are mutually dual. - Robert A. Russell, Oct 03 2020

From Robert A. Russell, Oct 03 2020: (Start)

a(n) = 1*C(n,1) + 400*C(n,2) + 130899*C(n,3) + 11230666*C(n,4) + 347919225*C(n,5) + 5158324560*C(n,6) + 43174480650*C(n,7) + 225086553300*C(n,8) + 775894225050*C(n,9) + 1831178115900*C(n,10) + 3008073915000*C(n,11) + 3439243962000*C(n,12) + 2685727044000*C(n,13) + 1366701336000*C(n,14) + 408648240000*C(n,15) + 54486432000*C(n,16), where the coefficient of C(n,k) is the number of unoriented colorings using exactly k colors.

a(n) = A337952(n) - A337954(n) = (A337952(n) + A337955(n)) / 2 = A337954(n) + A337955(n).

(End)

Example

a(2)=402 because there are 402 inequivalent 2-colorings of the 4D hypercube.
