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. A213442 counts those colorings of labeled graphs on n vertices that use exactly three colors. In this sequence, graph colorings that differ only by a permutation of the three colors are considered to be the same. Hence a(n) = 1/3!*A213442(n). [Peter Bala, Apr 12 2013]

FORMULA
Let E(x) = sum {n >= 0} x^n/(n!*2^C(n,2)) = 1 + x + x^2/(2!*2) + x^3/(3!*2^3) + x^4/(4!*2^6) + .... Then a generating function is 1/6*(E(x) - 1)^3 = 8*x^3/(3!*2^3) + 192*x^4/(4!*2^6) + 5120*x^5/(5!*2^10) + ... (see Read). - Peter Bala, Apr 13 2013
