How many ways are there to put 9 differently colored beads on a $3\times3$ grid if the purple bead and the green bead cannot be adjacent (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), and rotations and reflections of the grid are considered the same?

There are 408 ways to place the beads.

I doubt this is correct.

 

Scenarios

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

 

1 Purple in 1 and green in 3

2 Purple in 1 and green in 6

3 Purple in 1 and green in 9

4 Green in 1 and purple in 6

5 Purple in 2 and green in 7

6 Purple in 2 and green in 8

Maybe that is it

 

7!*6 = 30240
