Photoelectric uvby and H-beta photometry has been obtained for 28 low-mass members in the Hyades cluster. The stars observed are G and K type stars of the lower main sequence with colors up to (b-y) = 0.8 mag, selected from the proper motion study of Van Altena (1969) with high probability of membership. Their position in the related four color and H-beta photometric diagrams is discussed. The derived values for the distance modulus and metallicity are compatible with the common accepted values for this cluster. The c1-(b-y) plane shows the persistence of the Hyades anomaly in the G star range, disappearing for late G and K spectral types. This result is in good agreement with previous results obtained by the authors for the Praesepe star cluster.
