- Previous studies of the host galaxy of Haro 11 have suggested an extreme red color of V-K=4.2+-0.8 which cannot be reconciled with any normal stellar population of reasonable metallicity. We present the deepest V and K band data to date of the blue compact galaxy (BCG) Haro 11 and derive a new V-K color for the host. Our new data suggest a much more modest value of V-K=2.3+-0.2, which is in the same range as V-K colors measured for several other BCGs. The new Haro 11 color is not abnormally red and can be attributed to an old metal-poor stellar population with a Salpeter initial mass function.
