Abstract

A color selection apparatus and method wherein a color is selected on the basis of one color characteristic system for implementation in another color characteristic system. A display is generated which is indicative of possible values of one color characteristic from the first color characteristic system, from which a value is chosen. A display is generated which is indicative of a relationship between values of a second color characteristic and the first color characteristic selected. A value for the second color characteristic is selected. The color characteristics, from the first color characteristic system, that have been selected are converted to the second color characteristic system, which is then implemented.
