1. A color compensation apparatus comprising:
- a color scheme analyzing unit to classify an input image into a plurality of objects and to compute average color values for each of the classified plurality of objects;
a storage unit to store a color table proposed for color compensation; and
a color compensating unit to compensate the average color values computed for each of the classified plurality of objects using colors of the stored color table which match the computed average color values,wherein the stored color table comprises a plurality of coloration schemes, of which each comprises a single main color and a plurality of sub-colors ordered by their priority and which are provided by a professional organization,the color scheme analyzing unit divides the classified plurality of objects into a main object and a plurality of sub-objects according to importance, and computes average color values of the main object and the plurality of sub-objects, andthe color compensating unit detects colors matching the computed average color values of the main object and sub-objects using a coloration scheme with the highest similarity to the computed average color values among the plurality of the coloration schemes.

Abstract
A color compensation apparatus, a color compensation method, an image forming apparatus, and a computer readable recording medium are provided. The color compensation apparatus includes a color scheme analyzing unit to classify an input image into one or more objects and to compute average color values for each of the classified one or more objects, a storage unit to store a color table proposed for color compensation, and a color compensating unit to compensate the average color values computed for each of the classified one or more objects using colors of the stored color table which match the computed average color values.
