Integrated color indices measured in the Vilnius photometric system and color excesses are given for 39 globular clusters. The integrated spectral type is not a sufficient criterion for globular clusters to have identical intrinsic colors. A study is made of the relation between the integrated color indices and parameters of the H-R diagram: the Dickens morphological type D of the horizontal branch and the slope S of the giant branch. The integrated colors of clusters with a blue horizontal branch show no correlation with either D or S. The remaining clusters have large color indices mainly because their stars are redistributed along the horizontal branch.
