Abstract
Coloring invariants for spatial graphs are defined, inspired by Fox colorin gs of knots and links. A new proof of a the nontriviality of Suzuki's n-the ta curves is given. Necessary and sufficient conditions for colorings of th eta (n)-curves are described in terms of an Alexander polynomial defined by Litherland.
