Comparison of the distribution of extinction values derived for the subset of our cool stellar population, ﹩5500\ \mathrm{K}\,< T_{E}< 6000\ \mathrm{K}\,﹩ (solid line) that is interpreted to be predominantly Galactic foreground stars and for Galactic foreground stars (dotted line) from OGS over their entire LMC region. The hatched box represents the number of stars with ﹩A_{V}=0﹩ in our analysis (﹩A_{V}< 0﹩ is not allowed in our models). The histograms are arbitrarily normalized. In the inset we present the ﹩A_{V}﹩ distribution for both our Galactic foreground stars (thick line) and LMC population (thin line).
