Absolute visual magnitudes, HV, vs. B R colors for Centaur (cyan circles), classical (red squares), Plutino (yellow upward triangles), scattered (blue downward triangles), and non-Plutino resonant (green diamonds) objects. Objects with HV > 7.0 are bimodal at the 99.96% confidence level. Objects with HV < 6.0 are bimodal at the 96% confidence level. Objects with 6.0 ≤ HV ≤ 7.0 exhibit a continuum of colors.
