Color Light Curve

The color_light_curve.py finds the observed (B-V) and/or (V-R) if the Cousins R filter is included.
The user enters full file pathways for Johnson B, Johnson V, and Cousins R files that have HJD, Magnitude, and Magnitude Error in a three column format. After these 2-3 files are entered into the program, the user then enters the Epoch and period of the system. Once the plot button on the GUI gets pressed, the program displays a plot with folded light curves in the upper panel and the lower has the (B-V) and (V-R).
In order to calculate these values, the program looks at the quadrature (phases +-0.25) with a +-0.075 to both phases using the average value and taking the standard deviation for these values.
