Caption: Figure 12.

Color evolution of Chiron in ZTF (g − r) as in Figure 11, this time using a nearest-neighbor approach with a time separation of ±2 days. Uncertainties are obtained from propagating the individual photometric uncertainties in quadrature. The dashed horizontal line in blue, the histogram, and its associated annotations are the same as in Figure 11.
