Hack Design is a design course as well as a curated list of resources and tools: https://hackdesign.org/ It's not limited to web design (though resources relevant to web design make up a large part of the course) but addresses design fundamentals such as colour theory and typography, too. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I found Design for Hackers[1] to be an incredibly informative book; it provides a great deal of insight into UI patterns, color schemes and selections, and overall UI design. It's definitely more oriented towards graphical UIs but provides enough general insight into design considerations that you could generalize it for TUIs and CLIs if needed.
