Answer 1. If I can get the actual list, I'll be very grateful. But I am currently in a middle of making an excel generated permutations for this issue. I just need to find the exact formula to make it work properly.

Answer 2. Yes, I refer it as permutations because (yellow A, Red C, Green D) is different from (Red C, Green D, Yellow A).

Hello. With the wide variety of information around the internet there are still some specific stuffs that can't be answered. Thus I am here to ask about it you the experts. Here is the problem.

There are 4 letters A B C and D. Each letter have 3 variety of color Red, Yellow and Green. So basically the letters goes as red A, yellow A, green A, red B, yellow B, green B and so on and so forth. How many permutations can there be if each permutation should have only 3 letters which is different from each other. Example; (Red A, Red B, Red C), (Red A, Red B, Red D), (Yellow A, Red C, Green D) and so on..

I tried solving it manually but its getting a bit more confusing than I expected. What I would humbly ask is the complete arrangement of the letters.

Thank you very much.
