Method of creating color chart for color evaluation, and information processing apparatus thereof

An information processing apparatus for creating a color chart for color evaluation used in color evaluation, comprising:

• an obtaining unit adapted to obtain standard color chart data corresponding to a standard color chart including a plurality of color patches used as a color sample;
• a display unit adapted to display an evaluation target image on a display screen;
• a setting unit adapted to set an area in the evaluation target image, which is used to create a color chart for color evaluation;
• a computing unit adapted to compute color element data which represent color features of an image within the set area based on image data of the set area;
• and
• a creating unit adapted to create the color chart for color evaluation by extracting color patch data corresponding to the computed color element data from the standard color chart data.
