I don't know where you've asked this question but these are the best two
lists I know for such topics:

colortheory@yahoogroups.com
colorsync-users@...

The first one is obviously a yahoo group, so easily subscribed to, and is
hosted by Dan Margulis. The Colorsync list is subscribed to through the
Colorsync section of Apple's website (apple.com).

Both lists love arcane theoretical topics (or so they often seem to me <g>),
but the nose in that department probably goes to the Colorsync list. Both
lists have a fair amount of press and prepress people on them. If you've
tried these lists already it may be worth another shot - you know how lists
are WRT timing...

Also, Stouffer offers many "targets" that probably represent industry
standards.
