J. Lepowsky and R. L. Wilson initiated the approach to combinatorial Rogers
-Ramanujan type identities via the vertex operator constructions of represe
ntations of affine Lie algebras. In this approach the first new combinatori
al identities were discovered by S. Capparelli through the construction of
the level 3 standard A(2)((2))-modules. We 2 obtained several infinite seri
es of new combinatorial identities through the construction of all standard
A(1)((1))-modules; the identities associated to the fundamental modules co
incide with the two Capparelli identities. In this paper we extend our cons
truction to the basic A(2)((1))-module and, by using the principal speciali
zation of the Weyl-Kac character formula, we obtain a Rogers-Ramanujan type
combinatorial identity for colored partitions. The new combinatorial ident
ity indicates the next level of complexity which one should expect in Lepow
sky-Wilson's approach for affine Lie algebras of higher ranks, say for A(n)
((1)), n greater than or equal to 2, in a way parallel to the next level of
complexity seen when passing from the Rogers-Ramanujan identities (for mod
ulus 5) to the Gordon identities for odd moduli greater than or equal to 7.
