Determining the minimum number of colours required to colour the vertices of a given graph so that every pair of adjacent vertices receive different colours is a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper a naive colouring procedure is examined, that consists of choosing a colour for each vertex, uncolouring those involved in a conflict, and recursively repeating this process on the uncoloured vertices. This leads to some surprisingly good results, and this paper brings these results together, as well as providing an introduction to some of the probabilistic methods needed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00036].
