Abstract
We compute the Hadwiger-Nelson numbers for certain number fields , that is, the smallest number of colors required to color the points in the plane with coordinates in~ so that no two points at distance from one another have the same color. Specifically, we show that , that , that despite the fact that the graph is triangle-free, and that . We also discuss some results over other fields, for other quadratic fields. We conclude with some comments on the use of the axiom of choice.
