We present the latest results of the Meudon Multicolor Survey. This survey is aimed at characterizing the color properties and trends of Centaurs and trans-Neptunian objects. We report IJHK photometry of objects obtained with CFHT-IR at the 3.6 m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (Hawaii), JHK photometry with INGRID at the 4.2 m William Hershel Telescope (La Palma), and BVRI photometry with OIG at the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo Telescope (La Palma). We present visible—near-IR colors for 38 objects. Either these were acquired simultaneously, or the new near-IR photometry was tied to previously published visible measurements using the I magnitude measured in both sets. This large sample allows an extended characterization of the color properties of these primitive objects over the B (0.4 μm) to K (2.2 μm) wavelength range. We performed a detailed statistical analysis of all available IR colors in order to search for significant trends. The most relevant conclusion about visible and near-IR color-color correlations is that, basically, JHK bands alone do not show evidence of correlations, either between them or with BVRIJ bands. Only Centaurs show an anticorrelation between visible colors and H - K. Colors within each dynamical family compare very similarly.
