Defective coloring (also known as relaxed or improper coloring) is a generalization of proper coloring defined as follows: for , a coloring of a graph is -defective if every vertex is colored the same as at most of its neighbors. We investigate defective coloring of planar graphs in the context of correspondence coloring, a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvořák and Postle. First we show there exists a planar graph that is not -defective -correspondable, strengthening a recent result of Cho, Choi, Kim, Park, Shan, and Zhu. Then we construct a planar graph that is -defective -correspondable but not -correspondable, thereby extending a recent result of Ma, Xu, and Zhu from list coloring to correspondence coloring. Finally we show all outerplanar graphs are -defective -correspondence colorable, with 3 defects being best possible.
