COMMENTS
a(0) = 1 corresponds to the empty sum, in which all terms are colored in one among two given colors, since there is no term at all.

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} A091298(n,k)*2^k.
EXAMPLE
For n = 1, there is only the partition [1], which can be colored in any of the two colors, whence a(1) = 2.
For n = 2, there are the partitions [2], [1,1] and [1;1]. Adding colors, this yields a(2) = 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 distinct possibilities.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=!n+sum(k=1, n, A091298(n, k)<<k)
