Galactic fundamental-mode Cepheids with good B, V, and (in most cases) I photometry by Berdnikov et al. (2000) and with homogenized color excesses E(B V) based on Fernie et al. (1995) are used to determine their period-color (P-C) relation in the range 0:4 1:4). The latter eect is enhanced by a suggestive break of the P-L relation of LMC and SMC at log P= 1: 0t owards still shallower values as shown in a forthcoming paper.

Finally, the standard technique of deriving Cepheid distances from their association with an open cluster is still valid (see, e.g.: Tammann et al. 2003) and will also be discussed here.”
