Another way to think about it:
Use 4 modules, one of each color, to form the square "bottom" of the model.
Then use 4 more modules, one of each color, to form the indented
triangular pyramids on each edge of the bottom. Each pyramid is already
started with two modules; for the third, use the color that is on the
opposite side of the square bottom.
When this is done, you will also have formed most of four more square
faces of the model. Each of these faces now has three modules, one of
each color. Use the remaining modules, one of each color, to complete
these square faces, and then to form the square face on top.
Hope this helps,

You need 4 colours, three of each, for the 12 modules in total.
Each side will have 4 colours, each corner will have 3 colours.
Look here:https://papirfoldning.dk/da/ugensfold/2008-42.html
If you stay on the page, small waterbomb bases drop from the top.
Click them (once) to see them expand into the exploding butterfly ball.
For instructions in English:

One trick: Make a masu box with sides that are the width of the
waterbomb square. Then, when you have weaved the first four modules
into the bottom side, you lift that into the box which functions as
that third hand you don't have, making it much easier to assemble.
You weave the bottom layer, the sides, and the top. If you use the
colours in the same order for each layer, shifted one corner clockwise
(or counterclockwise, pending how your bottom layer weaves), then the
resulting cube will have the colours spread out in each their band
around the cube.
Anyway, always weave four different colours on each side, three
different colours in each corner.
You can also find instructions in Tom Hull's Origami Math book.
I'm very grateful to Kenneth Kawamura for this great action model.
Have fun,
Hans

If you have groups of 3 at a point try using only 3 colors. Try 4
pink 4 green 4 blue and it should work
Im not familiar with the model. Are 4 pieces used at a corner or 3?

*HI*
So I have the twelve units for /Butterfly Ball/, created by
Kenneth Kawamura: three pink, three yellow, three blue, and three
green. I'm trying to distribute them so that the same color
doesn't repeat in any segment, but I haven't been able. Can you
please help me?
