Abstract U-R colors of elliptical and S0 galaxies have been synthesized by combining the stellar populations of galactic globular clusters in accordance with a simple mass-loss chemical evolutionary model. The model independently predicts the mass and metal abundance of the intracluster medium, which agrees with recent model dependent interpretations of the X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies.
