The colors are computed using a procedure outlined in the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (RC3) whereby standard color curves approximated by Laplace-Gauss integrals are fitted to observed photoelectric multiaperture photometry. 11 sources of such photometry were used for our analysis, each source being assigned an appropriate weight according to a rigorous analysis of residuals of the data from the best-fitting standard color curves. Together with the integrated B-V and U-B colors provided in RC3, our analysis widens the range of wavelength of homogeneously defined colors of normal galaxies of all Hubble types. We present color-color and color-type relations that can be modeled to understand the star formation history of galaxies.</description><source format="bibcode">1995AJ....109..543B</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/109/543</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/109/543</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/109/543</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/109/543</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/109/543</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/109/543</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/109/543</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><coverage><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc"/><waveband>Optical</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/AJ/109/543/table5</name><description>Total and effective V-R and V-I color indices for 501 galaxies</description><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
