Distinguishing coloring is a concept in graph theory used to color the vertices of a graph in such a way that no nontrivial automorphism of the graph can preserve the coloring. In simpler terms, a distinguishing coloring helps differentiate the vertices of a graph based on their colors, thereby preventing any symmetry in the graph from mapping vertices of the same color onto each other.
