It is determined whether a portion, including a plurality of pixels and darker than a threshold in the image, is subject to a color replacement. One predetermined color from among a plurality of predetermined colors is selected, based on a color of at least a part of the plurality of pixels. Based on the determination, a color of the portion is replaced with the selected one predetermined color.
