contents The dichromatic and diachromatic numbers of a digraph are the minimum and maximum numbers of colors, respectively, in acyclic and complete colorings of the digraph. In this paper, we construct, for all $r \leq t$, non-symmetric digraphs with dichromatic number $r$ and diachromatic number $t$. Moreover, we discuss the existence of asymmetric digraphs with dichromatic number $ r $ and diachromatic number $ t \geq r $, establishing a quadratic upper bound $ b(r) \leq t $.
