Photometry with a small beam size is presented of the nuclei of five spiral galaxies selected for the absence of nuclear activity. No infrared excesses are found, and the color indices of all five galaxies are the same within the uncertainties. The emission of this sample can be explained in terms of a late-type stellar population. These results contrast with earlier results both for Seyfert nuclei and some supposedly normal spiral nuclei, which showed 3.5-μm excesses.
