Color correction system of imaging apparatus

A color correction system for an imaging apparatus, comprising:

• at least one imaging apparatus selected from an imaging apparatus for detecting the color of at least one point of an object and an imaging apparatus for outputting image information;
• first conversion means for converting the color information of an input or output signal of said at least one imaging apparatus on the basis of at least one value among at least one adjustment status set value of said at least one imaging apparatus and at least one status value indicating the use environment of said at least one imaging apparatus;
• second conversion means for converting the color information of said input or output signal on the basis of at least one of the type of a signal to be inputted or outputted into or from said first conversion means and a white balance setting status;
• and
• signal processing means for controlling said second conversion means.

A color correction system for an imaging apparatus, comprising:

• a business support terminal;
• a production management terminal;
• and
