Our deep broad-band BVRI CCD photometry of 45 (S+S) pairs from the Karachentsev (1972) catalogue (see Hernandez Toledo and Puerari, this volume), and additional (B-V) color information from the literature (50 extra (S+S) pairs), help us to confirm the effect. This "Holmberg Effect" has long been remained unverified and not explained yet.2 pages, 1 figure, to appear in ASP Conf. Ser. "Galaxy Disk and Disk Galaxies", Eds. J.G. Funes S.J. and E.M.
