We consider the chromatic number of graphs with maximum degree ∆. For sufficiently large ∆, we determine the precise values of k for which the barrier to (∆+1−k)colourability must be a local condition, i.e. a small subgraph. We also show that for ∆ constant and sufficiently large, (∆ + 1 − k)-colourability is either NP-complete or can be solved in linear time, and we determine precisely which values of k correspond to each case.
