Uniform Colorings
There are 9 distinct uniform colorings of a triangular tiling. (Naming the colors by indices on the 6 triangles around a vertex: 111111, 111112, 111212, 111213, 111222, 112122, 121212, 121213, 121314)
Four of the colorings are generated by Wythoff constructions. Seven of the nine distinct colorings can be made as reductions of the four coloring: 121314. The remaining two, 111222 and 112122, have no Wythoff constructions.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
