An accurate calibration of the surface brightness scale S V 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 S V scale of Galactic Cepheid variable stars, which are of major cosmological interest.
