μC, 0 U(1, 3) 1.751 ± 0.001 Mean u − g colour at z = 0.3, log Lr = 11.3 and average size.
ζC U(−10, 10) −0.412 ± 0.015 Linear scaling of the average colour with redshift.
βC U(−3, 3) −0.009 ± 0.005 Linear scaling of the average colour with log Lr.
ξC U(−10, 10) −0.007 ± 0.006 Linear scaling of the average colour with excess size.
σC U(0, 1) 0.053 ± 0.001 Intrinsic scatter in colour at fixed redshift, luminosity and size.

Notes. The parameters are introduced in Eqs. (5)–(8). Column (2): priors on the parameters. Column (3): median and 68% credible region of the marginal posterior probability distribution of each parameter given the data.
