the Navy did a study on what colours to paint the ships, it was pretty extensive i've been googling for it but i haven't found it so far.

i have a lot of colour theory books since i use them for the work i do in writing rendering engines and also for painting, but they are different styles, one set relies heavily on math, the others on form and function. There are a couple of magazines dedicated to colour theory.

simple one with colour wheel theory etc

Also check out Josef Albers work from the bauhaus, which was a very important place for colour work in art and design
