Figure 4: U-V/V-R color-color diagram of the clusters in UM 462. Solid circles are the observed colors, triangles after the correction for the contribution of emission lines. The dashed arrows indicate when the correction was based on the  image rather than on spectroscopy. The dot with error bars indicates the colors of the whole galaxy and the arrow the correction for the clusters contribution. The black solid line represents the output of SB99 for an instantaneous burst of star formation, points at age 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1000  are indicated by open circles. The vector corresponds to 1 mag. of visual extinction.
