We calibrated the MV, MJ, MKs and Mg absolute magnitudes of red clump stars in terms of colours. MV and Mg are strongly dependent on colour, while the dependence of MJ and MKs on colour is rather weak. The calibration of MV and MKs absolute magnitudes is tested on 101 RC stars in the field SA 141. The Galactic model parameters estimated with this sample are in good agreement with earlier studies.
