Description:
    We present uvby{beta} photometry for Be stars in eight open clusters
    and two OB associations. It is shown that Be stars occupy anomalous
    positions in the photometric diagrams, which can be explained in terms
    of the circumstellar continuum radiation contribution to the
    photometric indices. In the (b-y)_0_-M_V_ plane Be stars appear redder
    than the non emission B stars, due to the additional reddening caused
    by the hydrogen free-bound and free-free recombination in the
    circumstellar envelope. In the c_0_-M_V_ plane the earlier Be stars
    present lower c_0_ values than absorption-line B stars, which is
    caused by emission in the Balmer discontinuity, while the later Be
    stars deviate towards higher c_0_ values, indicating absorption in the
    Balmer discontinuity of circumstellar origin.
