PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for adjusting colors of an image. SOLUTION: The apparatus for adjusting colors of an image comprises an adjustment region setting unit for setting at least one adjustment region shaped as an ellipse in a color space; and an adjustment unit for converting colors of pixels included in the adjustment region to other colors based on a variable set. Thus, on the color space, the adjustment region is set to an ellipse with which a person can most appropriately represent a color range recognized as one color. and color adjustment is performed by changing the heavy center within the ellipse, namely, changing a reference color and a target color to which the reference color is changed, so that not only the degree of freedom of selecting a color region to be adjusted and the extent of adjustment is improved but also more natural color adjustment can be performed by preventing the color space from being discontinued by the color adjusted image.
