Faint emission-line stars found on Hα surveys are usually classified as planetary nebulae or Be stars on rather arbitrary criteria. A comparison of spectra of such stars with their optical and infrared properties suggests that a next step in their classification can be made quite rapidly by photometry. In particular the more unusual specimens can be readily isolated.
