Understanding Color Management by Abhay Sharma is quite a good introduction.
Real World Color Management by Fraser, Murphy and Bunting is also good.
Both these books are a bit out-of-date, but they cover most of the basics
without going into the maths. They may be a good intro to RWG Hunt (and
somewhat less expensive!).

Hi,
Despite having spent a few years experimenting with monitor
calibration on my free time, I still feel like I'm missing fundamental
knowledge about color workflows in general, leaving me confused about
some things.
I feel like I need to read a good thick book that would cover the
theory of color workflows in great detail. Specifically, I am
interested in a book that would cover the following topics and their
implications in great depth: colorspaces, white point, illuminant,
chromatic adaptation, ICC, rendering intents, color spectrum,
metamerism, standard observer, gamma, gamut (especially gamut
mapping), contrast, deltaE, and just about anything else that could
possibly be related to the reproduction of colors on TVs and computer
displays, for video and static content. My background is software
engineering.
Does such a book exist? I tried some of these keywords on Amazon but
didn't find anything interesting. It seems most books on color theory
are aimed at artists and don't really cover the deeply technical side
of things. One of my secret goals in life is to be able to fully
understand and explain all values of collink's -i option without
breaking a sweat :)
Thanks for any suggestions!
