Did the course use a particular text? As an oil painter I'm interested in rigorous color science, but I have no affiliation with a university.

It's been about 15 years. There were a number of books as well as other materials. If I remember correctly this was one of them:

I went looking around to see if I could find a better resource to help you dive into the topic in a more accessible manner. To my surprise Khan Academy seems to have a decent sequence of lectures on Color Science. I didn't watch the videos but the topics cover a reasonable portion of the basic knowledge one needs to start exploring Color Science:

Joseph Albers' 'Interaction of Color' covers how perception of color differs based on context.
