I have so little knowledge in art and ive never had a class in color mediums, so I have no idea what im doing, which is frustrating. Most books tell me nothing, but perhaps this one will.
Matthew,

Quite a number of people here are self-taught, including myself. The vast majority of what I've learned has come from books. People will recommend different books, but if you're interested in pastels, go to Amazon and type in "Chris Saper", or "Harley Brown", or "Ramon Kelley", or "Daniel Greene", or "Richard Schmid" (who mostly works in oils, but his Alla Prima book is wonderful) or check Cynthia's book site for a wealth of other books. The color theory in those books will of course apply to oils or any other medium as well.
