Caption: Figure 4.

Absolute J magnitude, absolute W2 magnitude, and J–W2 color vs. spectral type for the 20 pc sample of nearby L, T, and Y dwarfs from Kirkpatrick et al. (2021). Known wide companions are highlighted in light blue. The 3σ absolute magnitudes (based on the Gaia EDR3 distance to Ross 19A) and color of Ross 19B are indicated by the gray shaded region in each panel. The position of the cold companion WD 0806-661B in these diagrams (labeled) is discussed in the text.
