PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image pickup element and device for substantially solving the problem of generating color moire fringes caused by a periodic coding array, for realizing miniaturization, low costs and color image pickup with high resolution, for increasing the degree of freedom of the array of a color coding array, and for obtaining a high random effect. SOLUTION: This color image pickup device is provided with a CCD image pickup element 4 having a three color random array in which a color coding array fulfills an array limiting condition that an arbitrary pixel under consideration is made adjacent to pixels in the two colors other than the color of the pixel under consideration at the four sides or four angles of the pixel under consideration, a digital process circuit 7 which performs color separation processing based on a random color coding array, and a storage means constituted of a mask ROM or EEPROM 17 which stores array data related to the random color coding array.
