_Color_in_Business,_Science_and_Industry 3rd ed., by Judd and Wyszecki,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1975, ISBN 0-471-45212-2.

This book isn't about software, but it does give some of the zillions of
formulas for specifying color.  It's rather expensive, and even though it's
a book about color it has no color illustrations :-(.
