Given a graph G, the clique chromatic number of G is the smallest number of colors needed to color the vertices of G so that no maximal clique containing at least two vertices is monochromatic.
We solve an open question proposed by McDiarmid, the speaker, and Pralat concerning the asymptotic order of the clique chromatic number for binomial random graphs.
More precisely, we find the correct order of the clique chromatic number for most values of the edge-probability p around n^{-1/2}. Furthermore, the gap between upper and lower bounds is at most a logarithmic factor in n in all cases.

Based on joint work in progress with Lyuben Lichev and Lutz Warnke.
