Abstract: Long, Reid, and Thistlewaite have shown that some groups generated by representations of the $Delta334$ triangle group in $S{L}_3(mathbbZ)$ are thin, while the status of others is unknown. In this paper we take a new approach: for each group we introduce a new graph that captures information about representations of $Delta334$ in the group. We provide examples of our graph for a variety of groups, and we use information about the graph for $S{L}_3(mathbbZ/2mathbbZ)$ to show that the chromatic number of the graph for $S{L}_3(mathbbZ)$ is at most eight. By generating a portion of the graph for $S{L}_3(mathbbZ)$ we show its chromatic number is at least four; we conjecture it is equal to four.
