Josef Albers was an artist and professor of colours. His book, Interaction of Colour, is the book on colour. Illusions of transparency in colour, vanishing and expanding borders, and colour relativity are a bunch of theories Albers explains in beautiful visual detail but the big lesson for me was learning that what we see is often not what we get. Colour, you see, changes based on its relational context to others around it. Sounds familiar...
