We show that given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ of diameter 3 we can decide if $G$ is $3$-colourable in time $2^{O(n^{2/3-\varepsilon})}$ for any $\varepsilon < 1/33$. This improves on the previous best algorithm of $2^{O((n\log n)^{2/3})}$ from D\k{e}bski, Piecyk and Rz\k{a}\.zewski [Faster 3-coloring of small-diameter graphs, ESA 2021].
