Comparison of spectral properties of 2022 BX5 to the D-type taxonomic class, red and less-red Jupiter Trojan spectra from J. P. Emery et al. (2011), and the extremely red Centaur (5145) Pholus from S. Fornasier et al. (2009). BX5 has the reddest colors of any known NEO, which implies a composition more commonly seen in the outer solar system.
