The (V-K) colors of giant elliptical galaxies as a function of redshift are discussed. Present data are consistent with mild color evolution at z ~ 0.45. An infrared Hubble (redshift-magnitude) diagram is given. Cosmological models with qo = 0 and no luminosity evolution are clearly excluded by the present data. A wide variety of models including those with qo = 0 are permissible if luminosity evolution is included. Instrumental and programmatic implications of these results are summarized.
