A color correction table generation device for generating a color correction table for executing a color correction on an input color in a first color gamut into an output color in a second color gamut, comprising:

• a chroma limit setting device that sets a chroma limit;
• and
• a color correction table generation section that generates a color correction table by making a correspondence between the input color in the first color gamut and a color in a third color gamut within a range of the second color gamut and having chroma limited to be no greater than a chroma limit defining an upper limit of chroma of the output color;
• and
• an optimal color data generation device that sets a spectral characteristic of a supposed light source, sets a plurality of spectral reflectance characteristics in a visible band having spectral characteristic having one of a substantially convex shape and a substantially concave shape defined by a first wavelength at which the reflectance changes continuously from 0% to 100% and a second wavelength at which the reflectance changes continuously from 100% to 0% in accordance with a plurality of combinations of the first wavelength and the second wavelength, calculates an object color for each of the plurality of spectral reflectance characteristics based on a present spectral reflectance characteristic and the spectral characteristic of the light source, selects a color having the maximum chroma out of the plurality of object colors having a same lightness and a same hue, and determines the selected color as a limited optimal color, thereby generating the optimal color data representing the limited optimal color,
• wherein the chroma limit setting device sets the chroma limit based on the limited optimal color with reference to the optimal color data.
