Apparent (B − V) and intrinsic (B − V)₀ color evolution of ASASSN-20jq. The intrinsic color evolution of the normal SN 2011fe (Richmond & Smith 2012), the low-luminosity SN 1991bg (Turatto et al. 1996), and the Lira relation for different s_BV values (Burns et al. 2014) are also plotted. To construct the color-curve of ASASSN-20jq, the B- and V-band light curves were interpolated with low-order splines which were then evaluated at the same epochs. The vertical dashed line marks the lower limit of the time of B−V maximum of ASASSN-20jq as the data only captures the rising part of the color curve. The vertical bars at the top of the figure indicate the range of s_BV values for the SNe Ia-normal, 1991bg-like, and 2002es-like samples populating the luminosity versus s_BV diagram presented in Fig. 8.
