This is an application of multiplication property in combinatorics. The rule of product or multiplication principle is a basic counting principle (a.k.a. the fundamental principle of counting). Stated simply, it is the idea that if there are a ways of doing something and b ways of doing another thing, then there are a · b ways of performing both actions.

So , the first strip can be coloured in 4 ways . WLOG we take it to be green . Can the second strip be coloured green ? No ! Right ?
