Let R be a ring and Z (R) be the set of zero divisors of R. The regular graph of R, denoted by Γ (R) is the graph with vertex set R∖ Z (R) and {X, Y} is an edge if X+ Y∈ Z (R). We prove that the chromatic number of Γ (M n (F q)) is at least (q/4)⌊ n/2⌋, where M n (F q) is the ring of n× n matrices over F q, q being an odd prime power. This proves that the chromatic number of Γ (M n (F p alg)) is infinite, answering a case of a question posed in BCC22.
