i'd read/check goethe's theory of colour. a bit outdated on the science end but perhaps the best book ever written on the phenomenology of color

i don't know much about it specifically, but le corbusier developed a pretty elaborate system of color. its probably worth checking out.

after you've done all the reading eventually, you'll come to momma.

and, some cultures have the theory down, at birth.
