Abstract
A color conversion program including a grid point arranging part which arranges, between an input device represented by three values of RGB and four values of CMYK, grid points as correspondence of the RGB value of the input device and the CMYK value of the output device in a radial direction from a prescribed achromatic color axis to generate a radial color conversion table; and a color conversion table restructuring processing part which stacks, in the order of hue, a hue layer consisting of a surface of a hue and a surface of its complementary hue of the radial color conversion table to generate an orthogonal grid color conversion table in which the grids form an orthogonal grid.
