We present JHK photometry of Palomar 6. Our photometric measurements rangefrom the RGB-tip to 2 mag below the RHB and our CMDs show that Palomar~6appears to have a well-defined RHB population. The distance modulus andinterstellar reddening of the cluster are estimated by comparing the magnitudeand color of Palomar 6 RHB stars with respect to those of 47 Tuc. We obtain(m-M)_0 = 14.28 mag and E(B-V) = 1.30 mag for the cluster and our studysuggests that Palomar~6 is clearly located in the Galaxy's central regions. Wealso discuss the metallicity of the cluster using the slope of the RGB. Weobtain [Fe/H] = -1.2 for Palomar~6 and our metallicity estimate is 0.5 - 1.0dex lower than previous estimates by others.Comment: 14 pages, 4 tables, 12 figures; accepted for publication in AJ (2002  June
