Consider Color and Light by James Gurney.
“Color and Light feels like an extended studio lecture full of painted studies and photo comparisons that show how light alters temperature, value, and reflected color. The strongest part is the visual demonstrations that make specific choices about daylight, artificial light, and atmosphere tangible for representational painters. It can bog down in technical detail and repeated comparisons, which will slow readers seeking quick, procedural lessons. Best used as a slow study or a visual reference to consult while working, not a one-sitting primer.”
