They came out before digital so they don’t deal with raw pipelines (see the DNG spec for that) but for understanding color science I can recommend two somewhat overlapping books:
Measuring Color - RWG Hunt
Visual Perception - TN Cornsweet
This is fairly timeless stuff, so I typically buy such books used. Plus the older they are, the easier they are to understand because the science wasn’t as evolved
If I had to choose just one I would go for Hunt, I have the third edition.
