ABSTRACT:
A coloring support apparatus comprises a table storage section to store a coloring table having an emphasis column for describing the degree of color emphasis of a domain in a linear graphic image to be colored, and a color coordinate column for describing a color coordinate value in any color space in the domain to be colored for each image element constituting the linear graphic image, a whole color tone column for describing the impression of coloring; a color number determination section for determining the number of colors according to the coloring table; a hue determination section for determining hue values according to the number of colors obtained by the color number determination section; a reference coordinate determination section for determining the tone, saturation and brightness of a color corresponding to the impression of coloring described in the whole color tone column; a color generation section for determining the saturation and brightness values of the hue of colors according to coordinates of the plane with the same hue at the reference point for description in the color coordinate column; and a coloring section for referencing the coloring table covering a certain value in the each column to determine color coordinates for the color coordinate column and color the linear graphic image.
