A prime graph of a ring R, denoted by P G ( R ), is a graph whose vertex set is the set of the strong zero divisors S ( R ) of R, and its edge set is either E ( P G ( R ) ) = { ( x , y ) : x R y = 0 or y R x = 0 , x y and x , y S ( R ) }. This graph is a subgraph of the prime graph P G ( R ). In this paper, we investigate the chromatic numbers of the prime graphs of Artinian rings that satisfy certain conditions. In particular, if R is an Artinian ring with a unique prime ideal, then we prove that χ ( P G ( R ) ) n + 1, where n is the order of the prime ideal. Moreover, we explore the chromatic number of the prime graph of M 2 ( Z n ).
