PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device and the like capable of obtaining a colored stereoscopic image suitable for appreciation from an image photographed by light passed through a pupil area having different imaging optical systems depending on a band.SOLUTION: An imaging device has: an imaging element 22 generating RGB images; an imaging optical system 9 forming a subject image on the imaging element 22; a band limiting filter 12 blocking B light in a photographic light flux passing through a first partial pupil and transmitting R light and G light, and blocking the R light in the photographic light flux passing through a second partial pupil and transmitting the B light and the G light; a distance calculation part 39 calculating a phase difference amount between an R image and a B image; and a stereo image generation part 40, based on the phase difference amount, generating one single-eye colored image by moving blur centroid positions of the B image and a G image in a direction of a blur centroid position of the R image, and generating another single-eye colored image by moving the blur centroid positions of the R image and the G image in a direction of the blur centroid position of the B image to generate a colored stereoscopic image.
