If you want to color in the entire canvas so that no section touches the side of a section with the same color, what's the fewest number of colors you can use? You can use a color as many times as you want as long as it doesn't touch any area with the same color.

Once you have your answer, tap the Input Answer icon and enter the number of colors.
