FIG2 is a flowchart showing an example of an operation of the paint color specifying apparatus in an embodiment
Next, the operation of the paint color specifying apparatus 1 will be described using FIG2. FIG2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the paint color specifying apparatus in an embodiment. The operation of the paint color specifying apparatus 1 shown in the flowchart can be realized by executing the above-described paint color specifying program. A subject of the operation is the paint color specifying apparatus 1 in the following description. In FIG2, the paint color specifying apparatus 1 determines whether a digital image has been acquired (step S11). Determination of whether a digital image has been acquired can be performed, for example, by the image acquiring device 11 determining whether scan data has been acquired from the scanner 31. If it is determined that a digital image has not been acquired (NO in step S11), the paint color specifying apparatus 1 repeats the process of step S11 and waits for acquisition of a digital image.

['1. A paint color specifying apparatus comprising: an image display which causes a display device to display a digital image such that a highlighted portion and a shaded portion of the digital image are able to be designated; a color information acquiring device which acquires color information of the designated highlighted portion and shaded portion; a texture information selection display which causes the display device to display texture information of paint colors such that texture information of a paint color is selectable; a texture information acquiring device which acquires the selected texture information; a color characteristic calculating device which uses a correction coefficient corresponding to the acquired texture information in accordance with the acquired color information and thereby calculates color characteristics of a paint color represented by change in brightness of reflected light according to a reflection angle with respect to incident light; and a paint color specifying device which specifies a paint color in accordance with the calculated color characteristics.']
