COMMENTS

Two edge colorings are equivalent if one is the mirror image of the other or the cube can be picked up and rotated in any manner to obtain the other.
Also the number of unoriented colorings of the 12 edges of a regular octahedron with n or fewer colors. The Schläfli symbols of the cube and octahedron are {4,3} and {3,4} respectively. They are mutually dual. For an unoriented coloring, chiral pairs are counted as one. - Robert A. Russell, Oct 17 2020

FORMULA

a(n) = n^12/48 + n^8/16 + n^7/4 + n^6/12 + n^4/6 + n^3/4 + n^2/6.
Cycle index = 1/48(s_1^12+3s_1^4s_2^4+12s_1^2s_2^5+4s_2^6+8s_3^4+12s_4^3+8s_6^2).

a(n) = 1*C(n,1) + 142*C(n,2) + 11682*C(n,3) + 310536*C(n,4) + 3460725*C(n,5) + 19870590*C(n,6) + 65886660*C(n,7) + 133585200*C(n,8) + 168399000*C(n,9) + 128898000*C(n,10) + 54885600*C(n,11) + 9979200*C(n,12), where the coefficient of C(n,k) is the number of unoriented colorings using exactly k colors.
