Physics and Color
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, Georgia State University maintains a site so rich in information and links and commentary you may come away inebriated with knowledge and even further questions. Let a kid read it and they will drive the entire family nuts with trivia.
Go check it out at HyperPhysics . When you arrive click on "Light And Vision" and then click further down to "Color"
Don't miss the color history section or the color puzzles.
Go forth and have fun.

More than you ever wanted to know about color.
Donald Johansson's Colors On the Web is another one of those "get lost for hours sites". Many sites and publications have great explanations of the color wheel but leave a mysterious feeling about hue, value, saturation and a few other concepts.
Lots of good information for web designers including all the hexadecimal numbers and the colors considered web-safe for older monitors.
I can see thread choices and fabric choices for quilts being a handy use for some of the gadgets here.
You do run into Google ads all over the place but it is well worth putting up with them, in my opionion.
A great site for those of us who like to collect color info.

Color Tutorial
Worqx is a nice fresh site about color. I particularly like the look beyond the rather mundane color wheel (not that it isn't important). The tutorial takes you into the realm of how we perceive color. What tricky things are our eyes.
A good bibliography and a nice little tutorial.

Color Theory
Color Theory
Thought you knew your color wheel? Have another look beyond the static wheel that usually gets shoved at us. The Brown University site was created by a computer science project for use in a studio foundation course. It leads one through an understanding of color, a look at our attempts to quantify and qualify color and color systems and applets that let you try out color mixing and fiddling about to better understand the concepts set forth in the text.
