Abstract
We show that the observed colours of Seyfert 1 nuclei are tightly correlated with the inclination of the surrounding galaxies. This allows us to derive simple expressions giving the average reddening of their continuum as a function of the axial ratio. The resulting values of E(B−V) substantially exceed those for starlight.Keywords
