Abstract
For fixed integers and , let denote the minimum number of colors needed to color all of the edges of the complete graph such that no clique of vertices spans fewer than distinct colors. Any edge-coloring with this property is known as a -coloring. We construct an explicit -coloring that shows that as . This improves upon the best known probabilistic upper bound of given by Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s, and comes close to matching the best known lower bound .
