This representative-color determination device is provided with a viewing-distance input unit via which viewing-distance information is inputted, a section-color acquisition unit that divides a product region in a product image into a plurality of section-color regions and acquires information on the colors in each of said section-color regions, and a representative-color computation unit. On the basis of information on visual-perception characteristics, the representative-color calculation unit determines, from the aforementioned viewing-distance information and information on contrast and the repetition frequency of the color pattern of the product, whether or not a position corresponding to the viewing-distance information falls within a region from which a viewer could make out the color pattern in each section-color region. The representative-color calculation unit calculates a representative color for each section-color region from the information on the colors in each of said section-color regions in accordance with the results of the aforementioned determination. |
