Abstract
An image-capturing control apparatus controls an image capturing unit, which is configured to capture an image of a reference object serving as an evaluation reference, to obtain color information to be used for appearance evaluation of a target object. The image-capturing control apparatus includes a first obtaining unit configured to obtain data on a face orientation of an evaluation area on the target object and a second obtaining unit configured to, based on the data on the face orientation, control the image capturing unit such that the image capturing unit captures images of the reference object until the difference between the face orientation of the evaluation area and a face orientation of the reference object becomes smaller than a threshold value and obtain color information on the reference object for a case where the difference is smaller than the threshold value.
