The present invention relates to a system and a method for acquiring a color image from a monochrome scan camera, and the system comprising: a projector for projecting an RGB color light source; a camera for photographing an object on which the RGB color light source is to be projected; and a color reproduction unit for acquiring a color image by normalizing the light intensity of the RGB color light source and adjusting a gain for each RGB channel using gain adjustment coefficients generated by calculating tristimulus values of the camera, and thus the present invention obtains an effect of reproducing 3D information and color information of an object by projecting the RGB color light source of the projector to acquire a plurality of images from the same scene and ascertaining the color information of the object inputted into the camera from the plurality of images.
