An acyclic coloring of a digraph as defined by Neumann-Lara is a vertex-coloring such that no monochromatic directed cycles occur. Counting the number of such colorings with $k$ colors can be done by counting so-called Neumann-Lara-coflows (NL-coflows), which build a polynomial in $k$. We will present a representation of this polynomial using totally cyclic subdigraphs, which form a graded poset $Q$. Furthermore we will decompose our NL-coflow polynomial, which becomes the chromatic polynomial of a digraph by multiplication with the number of colors to the number of components, examining the special structure of the poset of totally cyclic subdigraphs with fixed underlying undirected graph. This decomposition will confirm the equality of our chromatic polynomial of a digraph and the chromatic polynomial of the underlying undirected graph in the case of symmetric digraphs.
