We have three colors: blue, red, green, and we require that the number of nodes of color green is 2, and blue 2, and red 2 - the same number. And here is my attempt: Automorphisms: $$(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)$$ $$(34)(1)(2)(5)(6)$$ $$(56)(1)(2)(3)(4)$$ $$(34)(56)(1)(2)$$ $$(12)(35)(46)$$ $$(12)(36)(45)$$ Cycle index of group: $$Z_G(x_1,...,x_6) =\frac16 (x_1^6 + 2x_2^3 + 2x_2x_1^4 + x_2^2x_1^2)$$ And using Pólya theorem we get generating function: $$U_D(g,r,b) = Z_G(g+r+b, g^2+r^2+b^2, ...,g^6+r^6+b^6) = \\ \frac16 ((g+r+b)^6 + 2(g^2+r^2+b^2)^3 + 2(g^2+r^2+b^2)(g+r+b)^4 + (g^2+r^2+b^2)^2(g+r+b)^2)$$ And coefficient with $r^2g^2b^2$ is $\frac16 (90 + 12 +0 + 0 ) = 17$ Is it solution correct?
