Well, the data don't look like they show an eclipse to me.If the
temperatures are very different, then the color should change
noticeably during eclipses, being bluer during the eclipse of the
cooler star and vice-versa. EW's don't have much color variation 
because the two stars have similar temperatures (hence the nearly equal
eclipses).
