Abstract
An edge colouring of with colours is a Gallai -colouring if it does not contain any rainbow triangle. Gy\'arf\'as, P\'alv\"olgyi, Patk\'os and Wales proved that there exists a number such that if and only if for any colour distribution sequence with , there exist a Gallai -colouring of with edges having colour . They also showed that and posed the problem of determining the exact order of magnitude of . Feffer, Fu and Yan improved both bounds significantly by proving . We resolve this problem by showing .

This result is absorbed into my new paper arXiv:2309.05606 (coauthored with Zhuo Wu), which also studies the generalised version of this problem
