  How many colors is it requiring?   And how long is the MatGetColoring() taking? Are you running in parallel?  The MatGetColoring() MATCOLORINGSL uses a sequential coloring algorithm so if your matrix is large and parallel the coloring will take a long time. The parallel colorings are MATCOLORINGGREEDY and MATCOLORINGJP
