Puzzle

US Version

This artistic young girl wants to make a stained-glass picture based on the legend of King Arthur by sticking bits of colored sheets to the atrium window.

The sheets used for the sword are going to be yellow, but she wants to design the rest so that none of the other parts are the same color as any adjacent part.

What is the minimum number of differently colored sheets she will need, including the yellow sheet for the sword parts?
