1. An information processing apparatus operable to perform colorimetry using a colorimeter, including a button and an indicator that is lightable, configured to perform colorimetry of a colorimetric target based on reflected light obtained by applying illumination light onto the colorimetric target, the apparatus comprising:
one or more memories storing instructions; and
one or more processors that execute the instructions to:
obtain a name or an identification data of the colorimeter that is connected to the information processing apparatus from the colorimeter and determine an application control program corresponding to the colorimeter;
load the determined application control program;
execute the determined application control program, and receive an operation event of a user operation performed on the button of the connected colorimeter; and
in response to the received operation event of the user operation, control the information processing apparatus in accordance with the determined application control program so as to:
confirm that the colorimeter is to be used;
light the indicator of the colorimetric upon the colorimeter being confirmed to be used; and
request execution of calibration of the confirmed colorimeter.
