Comparison of E(B−V)_host color excesses with E(V−X)_host (for X = i, Y, J, H) color excesses of 18 reddened SE SN. Color excess values are computed by taking the difference between the intrinsic color-curve templates and the observed colors of the reddened SE SNe from 0 d and +20 d. Over-plotted as solid lines are the best fits to each of the SE SN sub-types. Symbols and lines are color coded with green, blue, red and magenta corresponding to SNe IIb, Ib, Ic and Ic-BL, respectively.
