Rest‐frame ﹩U{\mbox{﹩-﹩}} V﹩ color vs. ﹩M/ L_{B}﹩ in solar units. Filled symbols are objects more massive than ﹩M> 3\times 10^{11}\,M_{\odot }﹩; open symbols represent the less massive ones. The cluster galaxies are the ﹩z=1.27﹩ galaxies from Fig. 2. The redshift zero data point is the average for galaxies with ﹩\sigma > 150﹩ km s−1 in the clusters Abell 194 and DC 2345−28 (Jørgensen, Franx, & Kjærgaard 1995a). The lines are solar‐metallicity Bruzual & Charlot (2003) models with constant star formation during the first 200 Myr (dotted line) and exponentially decaying star formation on the same timescale (dashed line).
