An illumination apparatus for vehicle capable of improving visibility of a driver with respect to an object of traffic environment of the periphery of a vehicle is provided. A vehicle periphery detection section 2 detects a pedestrian, a bicycle, an oncoming car, a forward running car, a sign, an indication and a traffic signal which are an object of traffic environment in the periphery of a vehicle. A vehicle operation detection section 3 acquires a speed of its own vehicle, a steering angle of steering and information about inclination (angular speed sensor) of the vehicle. An illumination section 4 irradiates the periphery of its own vehicle and the front of its own vehicle with light. A color estimation section 15 estimates a color of the object of the traffic environment detected by the vehicle periphery detection section 2. A light toning section 13 changes all or any of illuminance, luminance and color temperature K (kelvin) of the light according to the color of the object of traffic environment. A light irradiation range control section 14 controls an irradiation range of the light toned based on a position to the object of the traffic environment, the inclination, the steering angle and the vehicle speed acquired by the vehicle operation detection section 3.
