Abstract
⺠We conduct a photometric survey of dynamically associated asteroid pairs. ⺠New photometric colors were obtained for 34 individual asteroids. ⺠Pair components have the same colors within the uncertainties of this survey. ⺠The colors of pairs are indistinguishable from ordinary Main Belt asteroids. ⺠These data support pair formation via binary disruption and/or rotational fission.
