Synthetic photometry must be used to accurately define the passbands which characterize a photometric system. On the one hand, the colour indices of the stars must be coherent with their absolute spectrophotometry; on the other hand, direct comparisons of model atmospheres with observations must be carried out without resorting to arbitrary transformations. A systematic evaluation procedure could be applied to various photometric systems.
