You are given an undirected graph with N nodes in the form of an adjacency matrix. You are also given an integer M.

Your task is to find if you can color the vertices of the graph using at most M colors such that no two adjacent vertices are of the same color.

For example:

If the given adjacency matrix is:
[0 1 0]
[1 0 1]
[0 1 0] and M = 3.

The given adjacency matrix tells us that node 1 is connected to node 2 and node 2 is connected to node 3. 

So if we color vertex 1 with ‘red’, vertex 2 with ‘blue’, and vertex 3 with ‘red’, it is possible to color the given graph with two colors which is less than or equal to M.
