Based on a large sample of disk and halo giant stars for
which accurate effective temperatures derived through the InfraRed
Flux Method (IRFM) exist, a calibration of the temperature scale
in the Vilnius, Geneva, and DDO photometric
systems is performed. We provide calibration formulae for the
metallicity-dependent
vs. color relations as well as grids
of intrinsic colors and compare them with other calibrations.
Photometry, atmospheric parameters and reddening corrections for
the stars of the sample have been updated with respect to the
original sources to reduce the dispersion of the fits. Application
of our results to Arcturus leads to an effective temperature in
excellent agreement with the value derived from its angular
diameter and integrated flux. The effects of gravity on these
vs. color relations are also explored by taking into
account our previous results for dwarf stars.
Key words: stars: fundamental parameters / stars: atmospheres
