Mode identifications from the phase shift between the B-V color curves and the V light curves of Delta Scuti stars are discussed. For five Delta Scuti stars the frequency of highest amplitude is due to pulsation in a radial mode with one or more frequencies due to nonradial modes lying nearby. Thus there may be a resonance between the frequencies of radial and nonradial modes. This behavior has only been found in subgiant and giant stars so far, but this could easily be a selection effect. Theoretical predictions of frequencies for different 1-modes of the same overtone for main sequence, subgiant, and giant stars are needed to compare with these observations. Theoretical predictions of the strength of resonance coupling between radial and nonradial modes as a function of frequency separation are also needed.
