[Nauty] Handling vertex and edge coloured graph

Hi All,
There seems to be a confusion between vertex and edge label and
vertex and edge colour. I wasn't aware of the
difference until lately. Graph theorist seems to differentiate between
labelling and colouring. To correct my mistake, i
was talking about vertex and edge label. After some thought, i think i
can use the incidence edge label as a way to
create vertex label. For example:
vertex 1 has label 1 and connected to edges with label 1 and 2
vertex 2 has label 1 and connected to edges with label 1 and 3
Therefore, these 2 vertices should be treated as having distinct label
even though the vertex labelling is correct.
It seems to be a correct way but i am not sure how to prove that this
correct formally. It seems similar
to the way nauty divides the vertex set according to their degree. Any
feedback on this subject will be very
helpful!
Cheers
