The indication of correct color evaluation standards of a printed matter including a paper containing a fluorescent whitening agent, is enabled even in the case where the printed matter is observed under a light source that differs from the light source used for color measurement. A spectral reflectance Pt(lambd) of the paper under a light source T and a spectral reflectance Pu(lambd) of the paper under a light source U are measured in advance and a differential component, due to the fluorescent whitening agent, is determined as Fp(lambd)=Pu(lambd)-Pt(lambd). For a printed matter of dot percent S, a spectral reflectance Rt(lambd, S) under light source T is measured, and the measured values are subject to a correction process of adding an effective component within the differential component Fp(lambd) that is in accordance to dot percent S to determine an estimated spectral reflectance Rtu(lambd, S) under light source U. Estimation in likewise manner can also be performed for XYZ tristimulus values.
