People have not answered one part of the questions.
Black bodies: you want to look at the Boltzmann and Planck equations.
Check out a physics text on radiative transfer and you will find the
curves for black bodies. I learned about them for weather modelling.
Other people have adequately covered the sensation of the perception of colour.
The black body stuff won't help you for color.
