Question 16:
Solution: Let the number of different color sets be $\mathrm{k}$.
(1) If $\mathrm{k}=1$, then all points have the same color set.

Consider any color $\mathrm{c}$, then each point has exactly one edge colored $\mathrm{c}$. We consider the subgraph formed by all edges colored $\mathrm{c}$, which is a 1-regular graph with 2023 (an odd number) vertices, which is clearly impossible.
(2) If $\mathrm{k}=2$, then there are exactly two different color sets $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{2}$.
Let the set of vertices with color set $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ be $\left\{\mathrm{u}_{1}, \mathrm{u}_{2}, \ldots, \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{m}}\right\}$, and the set of vertices with color set $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ be $\left\{v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{2023-m}\right\}$.

Let the color of edge $u_{1} v_{1}$ be $\mathrm{c}$, then $\mathrm{c} \in \mathrm{C}_{1} \cap C_{2}$. Thus, each point has exactly one edge colored $\mathrm{c}$. We consider the subgraph formed by all edges colored $\mathrm{c}$, which is a 1-regular graph with 2023 (an odd number) vertices, which is also impossible.
(3) Below is a construction for $\mathrm{k}=3$.
Let the 2023 vertices be $u_{1}, u_{2}, \ldots, u_{1011}, v_{1}, v_{2}, \ldots, v_{1011}, w$. Let $r(a)$ denote the smallest positive remainder when integer $a$ is divided by 1011.

Let the color of $u_{i} u_{j} (i \neq j)$ be $x_{r(i+j)}$; the color of $u_{i} v_{j}$ be $y_{r(i+j)}$; the color of $v_{i} v_{j} (i \neq j)$ be $z_{r(i+j)}$; the color of $u_{i} w$ be $x_{r(2i)}$; the color of $v_{j} w$ be $z_{r(2i)}$.

Then, the color set of each $u_{i} (1 \leq \mathrm{i} \leq 1011)$ is $\left\{\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{x}_{2}, \ldots, \mathrm{x}_{1011}, \mathrm{y}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{2}, \ldots, \mathrm{y}_{1011}\right\}$; the color set of each $v_{i} (1 \leq i \leq 1011)$ is $\left\{z_{1}, z_{2}, \ldots, z_{1011}, y_{1}, y_{2}, \ldots, y_{1011}\right\}$; the color set of vertex $w$ is $\left\{x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{1011}, z_{1}, z_{2}, \ldots, z_{1011}\right\}$.
In conclusion, there are at least 3 different color sets.
