Colour measurements of quasars are used to constrain the abundance and properties of intergalactic dust and the related extinction effects on high-z sources. For Type Ia supernovae at z = 1, we derive an upper limit on the possible dimming from intergalactic dust of dm=0.2, ruling out the ``grey'' dust scenario as being solely responsible for the observed faintness of high-z SNIa.
