The zodiacal light experiment on Helios measures the brightness of the Milky Way along four strips of constant ecliptical latitude. In extension of earlier work UBV brightnesses were obtained for all of the resulting eight sections through the Milky Way. When comparing them to available photometries the agreement is reasonably good with Pfleiderer and Mayer in U, with Elsaesser and Haug in V, and particularly close with Classen in B. The Helios results support the U-B and B-V colors predicted from Mattila's synthetic Milky Way model. They also suggest that the intensity of the interstellar radiation field is decreasing from V to U.
