Results are presented of a semi-empirical investigation of the transformation relations between colors and magnitudes in Lindsey Smith's narrow band photometric system for WR stars and their corresponding parameters in the broad band UBV system. A preliminary application of these relations to the study of WR stars in open clusters indicates that the intrinsic colors of WR stars are slightly bluer than the values tabulated by Smith, and that single WN stars are less luminous than previously supposed.
