2Authored explanation
The cited paper proves the lower bound 5, while the standard upper bound is 7; the exact value remains one of 5, 6, or 7. The source and public status were checked on 2026-07-31. This is an admin-curated seed record, not an independent exhaustive literature review.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Determine the exact value by giving a coloring with k colors and proving that every coloring with fewer than k colors creates a monochromatic unit-distance pair.
