contents A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is said to be a 2-distance coloring if any two vertices at distance at most $2$ from each other receive different colors, and the least number of colors for which $G$ admits a $2$-distance coloring is known as the $2$-distance chromatic number $χ_2(G)$ of $G$. When $G$ is a planar graph with girth at least $6$ and maximum degree $Δ\geq 6$, we prove that $χ_2(G)\leq Δ+4$. This improves the best-known bound for 2-distance coloring of planar graphs with girth six.
