1. A color measuring system comprising:
a color measurement sensor configured to perform color measurement; and
a digital signal processor
configured to receive designation of a reference color group including a plurality of reference colors,
configured to select a reference color in the reference color group and determine whether a measured color that has been measured by the color measurement sensor and the reference color in the reference color group coincide, and,
in response to determining that the measured color and the reference color coincide, configured to automatically select a next reference color in the reference color group and automatically advance a color measuring process to a next color measuring process for measuring a next color by the color measurement sensor for the next reference color in the reference color group.
