In this color measurement device and method, an entire image and a partial image of a color chart are acquired, respectively, during conveyance of the color chart by a conveyance unit and during re-conveyance of the color chart by the conveyance unit, and an amount of positional deviation of the color chart occurring between the conveyance and the re-conveyance is derived based on the acquired entire and partial images. Then, a color of each of a plurality of patches of the color chart is measured by a color measuring unit, while a measurement position of the color measuring unit is corrected according to the derived positional deviation amount.
