Abstract: The minimal coloring number of a $mathbbZ$-colorable link is the minimal number of colors for non-trivial $mathbbZ$-colorings on diagrams of the link. In this paper, we show that the minimal coloring number of any non-splittable $mathbbZ$-colorable links is four. As an example, we consider the link obtained by replacing each component of the given link with several parallel strands, which we call a parallel of a link. We show that an even parallel of a link is $mathbbZ$-colorable except for the case of 2 parallels with non-zero linking number. We then give a simple way to obtain a diagram which attains the minimal coloring number for such even parallels of links.
