Interaction of Color: Revised and Expanded Edition
Josef Albers
Yale University Press, 2006
Wonderful Book!
This is an incredible resource for people really serious about learning the dynamics of color. You will get the most out of it by actually doing the exercises - it won't help nearly as much if you just read it and look at the examples. I highly recommend it!
