problem

The vertices of a regular nonagon are colored such that 1) adjacent vertices are different colors and 2) if 3 vertices form an equilateral triangle, they are all different colors. Let m be the minimum number of colors needed for a valid coloring, and n be the total number of colorings using m colors. Determine mn. (Assume each vertex is distinguishable.)
