I have 4 colors of cubes: red, yellow, blue and green. How many variants have I got to build a tower of 6 blocks?

My approach: We have $4$ variants for each block in the tower, so that we get $4^6$ and we need to divide by the amount of permutations that is $6!$, so that we get $4^6/6!$

Am I right?

The $6!$ part is incorrect. That would be the number of ways to order six distinguishable blocks, which doesn't apply here.

The answer before you took this detour is correct: $4^6$.
