#  Hexagon Pattern (4 Colors, 4 Tiles High, 48 Tiles Total)

This pattern uses a staggered arrangement to efficiently fill space with hexagons.  Due to the limitations of text-based output, this representation uses characters to simulate the hexagons and their colors.  Imagine each character representing a hexagon tile.  A true visual representation would require a graphical output.

**Color Key:**

* A = Color 1
* B = Color 2
* C = Color 3
* D = Color 4

**Explanation of Arrangement:**

The pattern is arranged in four rows of twelve hexagons each.  Each row alternates between two colors (A & B, then C & D).  The rows themselves alternate the color pairings to create a visually balanced and repeating pattern.  This ensures that the total number of tiles for each color is equal (12).  The staggered arrangement is crucial for creating a seamless hexagonal grid.  To visualize this properly, imagine each character as a hexagon, with the slight gaps between the characters representing the spaces between the hexagons in a true hexagonal tiling.
