Abstract
In a colorimetric apparatus including a support base configured to support a colorimetric object, a carriage including a detection unit configured to detect a detection target portion formed at the colorimetric object, the carriage supporting a colorimeter, and a movement unit configured to move the carriage, an adjustment value is calculated based on a detection position of the detection unit where the detection unit is caused to detect a detection target portion and a color measurement position of the colorimeter where the colorimeter is caused to measure a color of the detection target portion, and a position of the carriage at the time when a color of a patch is measured is adjusted based on the adjustment value.
