We present a study of the distribution of post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae (PNe) in the IRAS two-colour diagram. From the analysis of the distribution of spectral types of post-AGB stars in this diagram we conclude that the position at which a star leaves the infrared sequence of colours observed in AGB stars depends only on the initial mass of the progenitor star. The evolution after the end of the AGB phase takes place, in a first approximation, at a constant value of [25] – [60].
