A harmonious coloring of a simple graph G is a coloring of the vertices such that adjacent vertices receive distinct colors and each pair of colors appears together on at most one edge. The harmonious chromatic number h ( G ) is the least number of colors in such a coloring. We improve an upper bound on h ( G ) due to Lee and Mitchem, and give upper bounds for related quantities.
