Optical and optical/NIR colors of SN 2016adj corrected for Milky Way reddening (filled symbols) vs. days relative to the time of the V-band maximum. The solid lines correspond to the SN Ic intrinsic color-curve templates presented by Stritzinger et al. (2018), while the unfilled symbols correspond to the fit of the templates to the filled symbols. The E(V − H)_host color excess suggests an $A_V^{\text{host}}$ ≳ 5 mag.
