Reduced proper motion in band vs. J − H for all of the stars we observed and later classified as giants (gray squares), hotter dwarfs (blue diamonds), or cool dwarfs (red circles). The gray line marks the dwarf/giant cut suggested by Collier Cameron et al. (2007); stars lying above this line (in the gray shaded region) are more likely to be giants while targets below the line are more likely to be dwarfs. For reference, we note the approximate J − H colors of K0 and M0 stars.
