The Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) has presented data on a new set of high-redshift Type Ia supernovae with precise enough color measurements that E(B-V) host galaxy extinction corrections may be applied without any need to resort to prior assumptions on the E(B-V) distribution. Earlier results did not have precise enough color measurements to directly apply E(B-V) corrections; instead, they either used a prior on the E(B-V) distribution which greatly reduced the effective error bars, or argued that there was no evidence of a mean difference in extinction between low and high sets redshift supernovae. Based on SCP data which measure lightcurves and colors with the Hubble Space Telescope, cosmological results with assumption-free extinction corrections individually applied show no systematic offset from results without direct extinction corrections. Additionally, with updated K-corrections and intrinsic colors, there are no systematic color differences (red or blue) between low and high redshift supernovae.
