Reference recipes of each colorant (i) having a know concentration C.sub.i are prepared and used to color a reference piece by each colorant recipe. Thereafter, the spectral reflectivity (R.sub.i ') of each colored reference piece is measured, and the non-boundary reflectivity (R.sub.i) is calculated from the measured spectral reflectivity (R.sub.i ') and the boundary reflectivity (Rg.sub.i) in the accordance with the following equation:R.sub.i =R'.sub.i -Rg.sub.iThen, an optical density (.theta.oi) of the colored layer is derived from the non-boundary reflectivity (R.sub.i) and divided by the concentration (C.sub.i) to calculate an optical density (.alpha.oi) per unit colorant concentration, which is in turn multiplied by the concentration (M.sub.i) of each colorant (i) in the given colorant recipes to obtain the optical density (.theta.i) of each colorant (i) contained in the given colarant recipes.
