uvby-beta photometry of 74 stars classified as Delta Del in Volume 1 of the Michigan Spectral Catalogue is presented. The photometry is in agreement with the spectral classification in that it indicates Delta Del stars are metal-line-enhanced stars with equivalent-temperature types of A9 + or - 2 subtypes. There is a discrepancy between the luminosity implied from the delta c1 index and the spectral classification. It is argued that c1 is an inadequate luminosity indicator for some late A- to early F-type stars. Several of the Delta Del stars are known Delta Scuti pulsators, and some comments on the metallicism-pulsation relation are made.
