Abstract
Infrared colour–absolute magnitude relations are presented for samples of spiral, and elliptical and SO galaxies, using published data of Aaronson, Huchra & Mould and Frogel, Persson & Aaronson. The behaviours of ellipticals and spirals are shown to be manifestly different. The spiral colour–absolute magnitude relationship is proposed as a distance indicator.Keywords
