Given a central integral arrangement, the reduction of the arrangement modulo positive integers $q$ gives rise to a subgroup arrangement in $(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\ell$. Kamiya-Takemura-Terao (2008) introduced the notion of characteristic quasi-polynomials, which uses to evaluate the cardinality of the complement of the subgroup arrangement. Chen-Wang (2012) found a similar but more general setting that replacing the integral arrangement by its restriction to a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\ell$, and evaluating the cardinality of the $q$-reduction complement will also lead to a quasi-polynomial in $q$. On an independent study, Brändén-Moci (2014) defined the so-called chromatic quasi-polynomial, and initiated the study of $q$-colorings on a finite list of elements in a finitely generated abelian group. The main purpose of this paper is to verify that the Chen-Wang's quasi-polynomial and the Brändén-Moci's chromatic quasi-polynomial are equivalent in the sense that the quasi-polynomials enumerate the cardinalities of isomorphic sets.
