A color conversion apparatus is for converting an input point defined in a three-dimensional first color space into an output point defined in a three-dimensional second color space. The color conversion apparatus includes: a position identifying unit; a first conversion unit; a second conversion unit; and an output point identifying unit. The position identifying unit identifies a two-dimensional position for the input point, the two-dimensional position being defined on a specific plane passing through a first white point, a first black point and the input point, the first white point and the first black point being defined in the first color space. The first conversion unit converts the input point into an intermediate point that is defined in a device-independent color space. The second conversion unit converts the intermediate point into a temporary output point that is defined in the three-dimensional second color space. The output point identifying unit identifies, in the second color space, an output point, whose position defined on a plane that passes through a second white point, a second black point and the temporary output point corresponds to the two-dimensional position identified by the position identifying unit, the second white point and the second black point being defined in the second color space.

1. A color conversion apparatus for converting an input point defined in a three-dimensional first color space into an output point defined in a three-dimensional second color space, the color conversion apparatus comprising: a position identifying unit that identifies a two-dimensional position for an input point defined in a three-dimensional first color space, the two-dimensional position being defined on a specific plane passing through a first white point, a first black point and the input point, the first white point and the first black point being defined in the first color space;a first conversion unit that converts the input point into an intermediate point that is defined in a device-independent color space;a second conversion unit that converts the intermediate point into a temporary output point that is defined in a three-dimensional second color space; andan output point identifying unit that identifies, in the second color space, an output point, whose position, defined on a plane that passes through a second white point, a second black point and the temporary output point, corresponds to the two-dimensional position identified by the position identifying unit, the second white point and the second black point being defined in the second color space. 2. The color conversion apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a color gamut determining unit that determines whether or not the intermediate point exists in a color gamut of the second color space;wherein when the color gamut determining unit determines that the intermediate point exists out of the color gamut of the second color space, the first conversion unit shifts the input point on the specific plane in a direction toward a first straight line that passes through the first white point and the first black point in the first color space, and converts the shifted input point into the intermediate point. 3. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: a straight line determining unit that determines whether or not the temporary output point exists on a second straight line that passes through the second white point and the second black point in the second color space;wherein when the straight line determining unit determines that the temporary output point exists on the second straight line, the first conversion unit shifts the input point on the specific plane in a direction away from the first straight line, and converts the shifted input point into the intermediate point. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the position identifying unit identifies, as the two-dimensional position of the input point on the specific plane, a two-dimensional position of the input point on a plane, onto which the first color space is projected in a direction along one of three predetermined axes constituting the three-dimensional first color space. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the position identifying unit identifies two-dimensional coordinate values indicative of the two-dimensional position of the input point, the two-dimensional coordinate values being equal to a maximum value and a minimum value among three-dimensional coordinate values of the input point in the first color space, one axis corresponding to a medium value among the three-dimensional coordinate values extending perpendicularly to the projected plane, onto which the input color space is projected. 6. A computer readable storage device storing a set of color conversion program instructions, the instructions comprising: identifying a two-dimensional position for an input point defined in a three-dimensional first color space, the two-dimensional position being defined on a specific plane passing through a first white point, a first black point and the input point, the first white point and the first black point being defined in the first color space;converting the input point into an intermediate point that is defined in a device-independent color space;converting the intermediate point into a temporary output point that is defined in a three-dimensional second color space; andidentifying, in the second color space, an output point, whose position, defined on a plane that passes through a second white point, a second black point and the temporary output point, corresponds to the two-dimensional position identified by the position identifying unit, the second white point and the second black point being defined in the second color space.
