   Is this an NP complete problem?

   Hi,   
      
   Could you give me some suggestions on this problem? Thanks for your   
   time and attention first.   
      
   The problem I am thinking is as follows:   
      
   Given an undirected graph. Every edge in this graph will be in a   
   specific color. Now I want to find a subset of edges that contains the   
   least kinds of colors.   
      
   Is it an NP complete problem?   
      
   Finally thanks a lot for your time and attention once again.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Helen
