It has a good chapter on quantitative data and methods for colorimetry including a table of tristimulus values of the spectrum from 380 to 780 mu (5 mu steps). That same chapter has the formulas used to generate the table. If you are doing color research you should use a spectrophotometer to measure your output as color guns vary and may also give you different values in different areas of the screen. ------
