The Strömgren four-color system is well suited to the measure and analysis of horizontal-branch stars. The increased accuracy of the CCD photometric system and the ability to measure fainter stars in very crowded regions make the combination of the CCD system and four-color photometry an excellent one to study horizontal-branch stars in globular clusters.
