We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) surface brightness and
colour profiles,in bands ranging from U to K, for the
disk and bulge components of a complete sample of 30 nearby
S0 to Sbc galaxies with inclinations larger than 50 degrees.
We describe in detail the observations and
the determination of colour parameters.
Calibrated monochromatic and
real-colour images are presented, as well as colour index maps.
This data set, tailored for the study of the population
characteristics of galaxy bulges,
provides useful information on the colours of inner disks as well.
In related papers, we have used them to quantify colour gradients in bulges,
and age differentials between bulge and inner disk.
