Colors can be directly compared to data in the 2MASS photometric
system; for details of the photometric system and the various error
sources that are considered here, see Sects.~\ref{lsbcolors_nir2} and~\ref{cal_nir2}.\\
$^a$ Corrected for galactic extinction (see Sect.~\ref{cal_nir2}).\\
$^b$ Possible local instabilities in one SBP
at low $S/N$ levels.\\ 
$^c$ Possible contamination by nebular emission
over a large portion of the LSB~host galaxy.\\
