A short time ago someone posted an abbreviated version of the Yale
Catalog of Stars.  I'm enthusiastic about playing with the data, but
I don't understand one of the fields; the description is:

	***** Color *****

	Sign						A1

	B-V in UBV System				I3
	   (unit = 0.01 magnitude)

Can anyone fill me in on what measure of color this is?  Thanks.
