The spoke particle sizes of Saturn's outer B ring constitute an important parameter for spoke formation and evolution theories, prompting the present effort to find constraining observations. The spokes' apparent optical depths are found to increase with wavelength. A relationship is derived for the contribution of the spokes' small particle optical depth, taking multiple-scatter and flatter spoke-region large-particle phase functions into account; the spokes' optical depths still generally appear to increase or remain constant with increasing wavelength.
