Wildey (1961) and Tifft (1963) have both done photographic photometry in two colours of 47 Tuc. They found a colour-magnitude (c-m) relation which is characterized by a very short red horizontal branch and a giant branch which is redder at a given magnitude and fainter at a given colour than that of any other globular cluster. Eggen (1961) obtained an ultraviolet excess of 0m.19 for 8 cluster members bluer than B-V = 1m.4 and of 0m.21 for 7 stars redder than this, assuming negligible reddening for the cluster.
