Abstract: Given a metric space mathcalM that contains at least two points, the chromatic number chileft(mathbbRinftyn,mathcalMight) is defined as the minimum number of colours needed to colour all points of an ndimensional space mathbbRinftyn with the max-norm such that no isometric copy of mathcalM is monochromatic. The last two authors have recently shown that the value chileft(mathbbRinftyn,mathcalMight) grows exponentially for all finite mathcalM. In the present paper we refine this result by giving the exact value chimathcalM such that chileft(mathbbRinftyn,mathcalMight)=(chimathcalM+o(1))n for all 'one-dimensional' mathcalM and for some of their Cartesian products. We also study this question for infinite mathcalM. In particular, we construct an infinite mathcalM such that the chromatic number chileft(mathbbRinftyn,mathcalMight) tends to infinity as nightarrowinfty.
