Available photometry of HH 212 IRS-B from 1.6 to 8 μm is plotted as black circles, the surrounding lines indicate the photometric uncertainty. The blue triangles, green squares, and red circles show the same photometry dereddened by A_V = 15, 30, and 44 mag. Two blackbody curves for 3916 K (solid curve) and 4570 K (dashed curve) are fitted to the shortest wavelength photometric point for all three dereddened data sets; these temperatures correspond to M0 and K0 giants.
