Observations were carried out on February 7-9 and March 12 and 13, 1980 at the European Southern Observatory in La Silla, Chile to find evidence of color variations on the surface of 3 Juno during a complete rotation cycle. Results show that Juno becomes redder just before the primary minimum of the lightcurve (B-V equals 0.845) and bluer before the primary maximum (B-V equals 0.820). The amplitude of the color variation during the rotation is approximately 0.025 m. The rotation period is found to be 7.209 h + or - 0.003 h, which is in agreement with earlier calculations. A new phase coefficient of 0.029 m/deg was computed with a mean absolute magnitude of V(1,0) equals 5.509 + or - 0.015.
