	Figure 3: Comparison with Persson83's photoelectric photometry in J,H,K ( a), ( b). Open circles refer to small aperture sizes of 12, 24, 29, 30 and 35 arcsec and filled circles are for bigger apertures of 56, 59, 60, 64, 75 arcsec.

	Figure 4: Optical color evolution (from Searle et al. 1980) and near-infrared color evolution of LMC clusters. Our data (filled circles) are sampled at 60 arcsec diameter and log t is from our Table 1. Persson83 data are shown for comparison (open circles). All color are reddening corrected by Bessell & Brett(1988)'s extinction law.

Figure 5: Our data plotted against log t from our Table 1. For near-infrared colors, the data are sampled at 60 arcsec diameter, but for V-K we resampled our near-infrared data to match the V aperture given in Table 1. Horizontal dashed line are defined by Persson83 for IR enhanced clusters, shown here after Carter (1990) correction to the SAAO system. Cross symbols indicate 4 clusters classified as IR enhanced by Persson83.
