Graph Coloring · Challenge problem

The cube graph Q3Q_3 has the 88 vertices {0,1}3\{0,1\}^3, with an edge between two vertices exactly when they differ in one coordinate (1212 edges). If each vertex is independently painted one of 33 colors uniformly at random, what is the probability that the result is a proper coloring (every edge joins two different colors), as a reduced fraction?
