A rectangular partition is a partition of a plane rectangle into an arbitrary number of non-overlapping rectangles such that no four rectangles share a corner. In this note, it is proven that every rectangular partition admits a vertex coloring with four colors such that every rectangle, except possibly the outer rectangle, has all four colors on its boundary. This settles a conjecture of Dinitz et al. [Y. Dinitz, M.J. Katz, R. Krakovski, Guarding rectangular partitions, in: Abstracts 23rd Euro. Workshop Comput. Geom., 2007, pp. 30–33]. The proof is short, simple and based on 4-edge-colorability of a specific class of planar graphs.
