The reading for most of this stuff is ridiculously dense, as well as being more reference. You sound like a perfect candidate to dig into Colour. There are a great many extremely knowledgeable people around that project that can help. Mark Fairchild's Color Appearance Models is probably about the most canonical tome one can recommend, with the caveat above. To do what you are seeking, you would need an accurate profile of your camera in question, as well as likely a spectrophotometer for the objects in question. It is a pretty tricky field. I would encourage you to contact the Colour Science Twitter feed to get in on the Slack channel for help and guidance. See you there!
