The g-r and r-i colors indices of 2020 XL5 from the two observing nights, the color scale is according to the SDSS a* parameter. Gray lines represent one sigma color uncertainty. The 2043 color points represent 1308 asteroids from all taxonomic types present in the SDSS MOC DR3 catalog. The C-complex objects typically have a* < 0 with an average value of −0.1 and the S-complex object a* > 0 with an average value of 0.1527. 2020 XL5 is located in the C-complex area.
