A display device has a first color mode in which an image is output in monochrome except for a designated color and a second color mode in which colors in an image are output in non monochrome. The display device includes a display unit operable to output a display, and a display controller operable to control the display output on the display unit. While a selecting operation by a user on an image is urged, the display controller displays an image on the display unit in the second color mode, and after completion of the selecting operation by the user, the display controller changes a color mode from the second color mode to the first color mode and then displays an image on the display unit in the first color mode.
