1. A color information processing apparatus comprising:
a mapping section for mapping a designated color that lies outside of the range of a gamut of a printing apparatus to the range of the gamut according to a plurality of mapping techniques; a display device for simultaneously displaying the designated color and a plurality of colors mapped by the mapping section, wherein the display device simultaneously displays the designated color and the colors mapped by the mapping section adjacent to each other; an image data generator for generating image data of a color chart including a plurality of color patches having different lightness and chromaticity values in a color space around the color mapped according to the one of the mapping techniques, said one mapping technique selected by a first selector; and wherein the image data generator further generates second image data of a second color chart including a plurality of color patches, said second color chart being based on the mapping technique selected by the first selector and further corresponding to a color selected by a second selector as a selected color under a light source at a reference color temperature, and the selected color under light sources at different color temperatures from the reference color temperature.
