We derived surface gravity corrections to the color-temperature relationships for red giants.This step was required because we adopted a dwarf-based color calibration, and the theoretical correction is given in Figure 8.However, the sign of the correction was reversed in the note at the bottom of Table 4.In Table 7 the sense in which the corrections should have been applied is noted correctly, but the actual corrections used were reversed.In addition, null values (-999) in the gravity correction table were accidentally included in the interpolation by the sign flip error, which resulted in unreasonably large correction terms at the very cool end (T eff 4200 K).We have revised the data in Tables 4 and7 accordingly, and updated the figures (Figures 8 and18) and statistical properties (Table 8) that were impacted.Gravity terms were applied for stars with low gravities (log g 3.5), to correct for differences between the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC) and the model log g values.The T eff estimates for dwarfs with log g > 3.5 remain valid in the published version of Table 7.A revised version of the gravity corrections is found in Table 4, with the same form and content as in the original table, except its signs.Here, log g(YREC) is the log g in our YREC model (third column in Table 4).Negative values in the table mean that giants
