We propose a modified color-magnitude diagram for novae in outburst, i.e.,$(B-V)_0$ versus $(M_V-2.5 \log f_{\rm s})$, where $f_{\rm s}$ is thetimescaling factor of a (target) nova against a comparison (template) nova,$(B-V)_0$ is the intrinsic $B-V$ color, and $M_V$ is the absolute $V$magnitude. We dub it the time-stretched color-magnitude diagram. We carefullyreanalyzed 20 novae based on the time-stretching method and revised theirextinctions $E(B-V)$, distance moduli in the $V$ band $(m-M)_V$, distances $d$,and timescaling factors $f_{\rm s}$ against the template nova LV Vul. We havefound that these 20 nova outburst tracks broadly follow one of the two templatetracks, LV Vul/V1668 Cyg or V1500 Cyg/V1974 Cyg group, in the time-stretchedcolor-magnitude diagram. In addition, we estimate the white dwarf masses and$(m-M)_V$ of the novae by directly fitting the absolute $V$ model light curves($M_V$) with observational apparent $V$ magnitudes ($m_V$). A good agreement inthe two estimates of $(m-M)_V$ confirms the consistency of the time-stretchedcolor-magnitude diagram. Our distance estimates are in good agreement with theresults of Gaia Data Release 2.
