The achromatic number of \(G\) is the maximum number \(\text{achr}(G)\) of colours in a proper complete vertex colouring of \(G\). In the paper it is proved that \(\text{achr}(K_6 \square K_7)=18\). This result finalises the determination of \(\text{achr}(K_6 \square K_q)\). KW - complete vertex colouring KW - achromatic number KW - Cartesian product SN - 1232-9274 ER -
