Abstract

Using a sample of over 100 nucleated Virgo cluster dEs from the SDSS we show that interchanging nucleus and galaxy colours does not alter the colour-magnitude relation. No significant difference is found between nuclei and their parent galaxies in a multicolour comparison except for a weak tendency that some nuclei are slightly redder than their hosts.
