A k-coloring of a graph G=(V, E) is a partition of V(G) into k subsets called color classes. A proper k-coloring is a k-coloring where the induced subgraph of each class is independent. We investigate different varieties of colorings including complete, best, Grundy, partial Grundy, harmoneous, line-distinguishing, 1-complete, pseudo-complete, pseudo-harmonious colorings and rankings of graphs.
