Kron, G. E. Abstract An assumption is made that the reddening material within 5 kpc of the sun is present in a plane-parallel layer having a thickness of 500 pc. It is then shown that for more than 99% of a sample of supergiant stars, the mean minimum reddening is 0.082 mag/kpc of transit through the layer material. This fact can be used to in&ease the sample of objects on which a measure- ment of intrinsic color can be based. In addition, this fact gives freedom from the assumption, usually necessary in determining intrinsic color, that some of the objects in a sample are free from reddening.
