contents Resolving a 1985 open problem of Gyárfás, we prove that chromatic number is polynomially bounded by clique number for graphs with no induced five-vertex path $P_5$. Our approach introduces a chromatic density framework involving chromatic quasirandomness and chromatic density increment, which allows us to deduce the desired statement from the Erdős-Hajnal result for $P_5$.
