We demonstrate in this paper the use of asymmetry in conjunction with the integrated (B-V) color of galaxies for physical morphological purposes. We show how color-asymmetry diagrams can be used to distinguish between various types of galaxies, including ellipticals, late and early type disks, irregulars and interacting/merging galaxies. We also show how asymmetry can be used to help decipher the morphology of nearby starbursts, and galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field.
