If you need to introduce the concept of types of paint in your proof of the four color theorem, you're introducing unnecessary overhead. It should be on a more abstract level.
Concerning your problem with the plus one.
I think you can argue that the product of all primes smaller than x, plus one, is divided by all those primes with remainder one. Is that sufficient? (long ago)
