We prove this configuration colorable:

We color the boundary nodes with all 6 possible color combinations, modulo equivalence of colors, that are consistent with this smaller configuration:

4 successes are simple and 2 require Kempe-chains.





with color-flipped boundary nodes marked with heavy dashes. (Apologies for the kempe chain edges passing through things visually.)
