Abstract
If is the symmetry group of an uncolored pattern then a coloring of the pattern is semiperfect if the associated color group is a subgroup of of index 2. We give results on how to identify and enumerate all inequivalent semiperfect colorings of certain patterns. This is achieved by treating a coloring as a partition of , where is a subgroup of index 2 in , for , and is a complete set of right coset representatives of in . We also give a one-to-one correspondence between inequivalent semiperfect colorings whose associated color groups are conjugate subgroups with respect to the normalizer of in the group of isometries of .
