The evolution of super star clusters from their formation is not well understood. Constraints on mass and ionizing flux of embedded super star clusters can be found in the literature, but questions concerning physical size, star formation efficiency, and geometry are still largely unanswered. We have run three-dimensional radiative transfer models to study the infrared SEDs and colors of embedded super star clusters to compare to Spitzer, Herschel, and, eventually, JWST data (Whelan et al., submitted). We have found that moderately clumpy dust distributions are inherently degenerate at some wavelengths, making it difficult to discern properties like physical size. However, several passbands can be used to help break these degeneracies and discern between models with different input parameters. We present these diagnostics here in an effort to recover the input parameters from the colors, and to provide the community with a model set for comparison to existing and future infrared observations of embedded super star clusters.
