Abstract
A metallic color conversion unit performs color conversion on an input color value so that a color of a colorimetric value of a print result when a printer performs printing by using each of at least one process color toner by each corresponding amount, which is a conversion result obtained by performing the color conversion on the input color value in accordance with a metallic level designated, and by using a toner including a metallic particle by an amount, which is obtained by a metallic amount calculation unit in accordance with the designated metallic level, becomes close to a color of a colorimetric value of a print result when the printer performs the printing by using each of the at least one process color toner by each corresponding amount, which is a conversion result obtained by converting the input color value by a normal color conversion unit.
