Notwithstanding the large mass of the LMC, which renders it probably too massive to be regarded as an average dIrr galaxy, its evolution in the MV vs. (B-V) plot shows that it never crossed the dashed line. For this reason, from the photometric point of view, in this plot it can be regarded as an example of a typical dIrr.
