Abstract: A color management system includes a measurement unit and a controller. The measurement unit measures a color difference between multiple colorimeters by using at least one detection color patch in accordance with colorimetry conditions used for the colorimeters. The controller generates, in a case where the color difference between the colorimeters is equal to or higher than a threshold for the detection color patch, a correction profile for correcting the color difference between the colorimeters.

Abstract: A color management system includes a memory and a controller. The memory stores a correction profile for a first medium, the correction profile being provided for correcting a difference between multiple colorimeters. The controller uses, as an evaluation index and on a basis of a result of colorimetry performed on a second medium that is different from the first medium, at least one of a color difference, a hue difference, or a lightness difference between the first medium and the second medium and uses the correction profile for the first medium as a correction profile for the second medium in a case where the evaluation index is equal to or lower than a corresponding one of thresholds.

Abstract: An image processor includes: a receiving unit that receives an input of image data in a first color space; a first color conversion unit that performs color conversion of the image data received by the receiving unit to image data formed of a first combination of color components in a second color space; a second color conversion unit that performs color conversion of the image data received by the receiving unit to image data formed of a second combination of color components in the second color space, the second combination being different from the first combination; and an image generating unit that generates an image based on at least the image data generated by the first and second color conversion units. Each of the first and second combinations includes a smaller number of color components than the number of color materials to be used in formation of an image.
