Abstract

We establish a simple generalization of a known result in the plane. The simplices in any pure simplicial complex in R^d may be colored with d+1 colors so that no two simplices that share a (d-1)-facet have the same color. In R^2 this says that any planar map all of whose faces are triangles may be 3-colored, and in R^3 it says that tetrahedra in a collection may be "solid 4-colored" so that no two glued face-to-face receive the same color.
