We introduce a new cohomology theory for planar trivalent graphs with perfect matchings. The graded Euler characteristic of the cohomology is a one variable polynomial called the 2-factor polynomial that, if nonzero when evaluated at one, implies that the perfect matching is even and therefore the graph is 4-face colorable. We also define several new polynomials invariants of graphs with and without perfect matchings that are invariants of abstract tensors systems and spin networks defined by Roger Penrose in the 1970s. We show how some of these polynomials can be ``categorified'' into their own homology theories.

New relations for the vertex polynomial
The vertex polynomial satisfies local relations for digon, triangle, quadrilateral, and pentagon faces, extending it to arbitrary-degree graphs.
