Abstract
In a gloss evaluation method and a gloss evaluation apparatus according to the present invention, an intensity P of specular light obtained by illuminating an object to be measured with illumination light of spectral irradiance emitted from the reference machine is obtained from an intensity of specular light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with first illumination light of spectral irradiance from a relevant machine, based on an intensity b of dispersed reflected light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with the first illumination light, and a spectral reflectance of diffuse reflection light obtained by illuminating the object to be measured with predetermined second illumination light from a different illuminating angle.
