Abstract:
A color correction apparatus, comprising:a color measuring means for measuring a light splitting reflection value of a color sample; a metamerism minimizing color correction means for receiving R, G, B color values of the color sample and a light splitting reflection value inputted from the color measuring means, obtaining a metamerism minimizing color correction parameter and converting the R, G, B color values inputted from a color scanner into a light splitting reflection value using the metamerism minimizing color correction parameter; a color value converting means for determining a color value conversion parameter selection value in accordance with an externally inputted selection signal and converting a light splitting reflection value inputted from the metamerism minimizing color correction means into a standard color value using the color value conversion parameter in accordance with the determined color value conversion parameter selection value; and a storing means for providing the stored color value conversion parameter in accordance with the color value conversion parameter selection value received from the color value conversion means and storing the metamerism minimizing color correction parameter obtained by the metamerism minimizing color correction means.
