By inputting a predetermined number of first data to a color reproducing device, a predetermined number of reproduced colors are respectively measured, and a plurality of relationships of correspondence between inputted first data and measured second data are determined. On the basis of the plurality of relationships of correspondence between the first data and the second data, relationships of interpolated correspondence, which express relationships between second data other than the measured second data and first data corresponding to the second data other than the measured second data, are estimated. After second data which is the same as or closest to a color to be reproduced is selected, first data corresponding to selected second data is selected on the basis of the relationships of correspondence and the relationships of interpolated correspondence. Selected first data is then inputted to the color reproducing device, and a color to be reproduced is reproduced. |
