Abstract

A gamut judging apparatus of the present invention has source color distance calculator 1 that calculates the length of a source color vector connecting a source color as an object to judge whether the source color is in or out of gamut of a device and a center color set in the gamut, gamut distance calculator 3 that calculates a gamut distance between the center color and an intersection at which the source color vector or an extended source color vector intersects a gamut boundary of the device, and a judging section that judges that the source color is out of the gamut of the device when the length of the source color vector is larger than the gamut distance, and judges that the source color is in the gamut of the device when the length of the source color vector is smaller than the gamut distance.
