I wish I found this site when I took Color Science in college. I was able to pick a free elective and that one sounded fun. The first day I went the professor rattled off 3 prerequisite classes "we all should have taken by now", I hadn't taken any of them. In fact, I was the only CS major in the class. I explained the situation to the professor and he understood but he said it would be a hard class. Fortunately, we worked in groups for every assignment, so I could get some help from people that actually knew what they were doing. The book we had for the class was dense and I never really found a perfect overview of everything we were learning. This website really sums up a lot of it. We went into more detail about the 1931 XYZ color space, and learned about color spaces that were made after that and how they affected the field. I ended up learning a lot in that class. One of the big assignments we had was to take a photo of a portrait under different light conditions in a light booth (daylight, sunset, incandescent, etc.) and use MATLAB programs to make all of the photos look exactly the same. Here's a Wikipedia article that covers a lot of what we did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_balance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_balance
