The energy distribution of the Am stars are affected by the line blanketing, which appears as a deviation in the behaviour of color indices with reference to the normal stars. In this paper we study the various color indices along with the data from IRAS and try to identify a realistic representative of the effective temperature. An excess in the IR also becomes apparent in some cases.
