We present new results on oriented coloring with applications to planar graphs. Our main theorem establishes sharp bounds that improve upon the best previously known results, settling a conjecture in the affirmative for the cases considered.

Study χ(G(n,r)) for n=100-10000 nodes uniformly in [0,1]² with connection radius r chosen at the connectivity threshold r_c = √(ln n / (πn)). Empirically: χ concentrates around c·√(n/ln n) with c=1.
