An accurate calibration of the surface brightness scale SV as a function of the near-IR color (V – K) has been recently measured for non-variable Galactic dwarf and giant stars. It can be shown that this correlation can be applied to the SV scale of Galactic Cepheid variable stars, which are of major cosmological interest.
