I don't know how you calculated that, but it looks good.

P(15,5,5,5) = 15!/(5!*5!*5!) = 756,756.  Adjusting for color replacement we 
divide by six, adjusting for rotation we divide by three, adjusting for 
reflection we divide by two, and get 21,021.  I know for sure that this 
number is low, because a small number of substitutions, rotations, and 
reflections mimic each other.  Your number is probably right.  How did you 
calculate it?

That's one of them good versions of Nim I mentioned.
