Abstract: In this paper, we study the colorability of link diagrams by the Alexander quandles. We show that if the reduced Alexander polynomial $Delt{a}_L(t)$ is vanishing, then $L$ admits a non-trivial coloring by any non-trivial Alexander quandle $Q$, and that if $Delt{a}_L(t)=1$, then $L$ admits only the trivial coloring by any Alexander quandle $Q$, also show that if $Delt{a}_L(t)ot=0,1$, then $L$ admits a non-trivial coloring by the Alexander quandle $Lambda/(Delt{a}_L(t))$.
