Colour Theory
Do you recomend any "theory of colour" online tutorials?
One blurred photo is a mistake, 10 blurred photos are an experiment,
100 blurred photos is a style

Simply google the word "color theory" and you'll be surprised.

^ can't really do much about that one, everyone who publishes something tries to be "original". Sadly some take that originality too far, that's why we end up having contradictory articles and examples and everything.

That's not totally surprising, as the original color wheels were based on red yellow and blue. This because there was a need for a standard of colors on with which you could create all other colors from.
This part still is true. However, the artworld set them up as a triangle. This isn't true. As physicist found that instead of red it was a slightly more pink shade of red that held the position red was holding. I don't know for sure, but that's probably the reason CMY mixing was introduced next to the tradition RGB mixing.
That's probably why the sites you found contradict each other. I know wikipedia has a good article on it, which shows both theories.

You know... to sound like a TOTAL stick in the mud and as one who did fine art before multimedia: the BEST way to gain an understanding of colour and how it works is to apply it.
Go through those colour wheels you got from wiki and other sites, actually sit down and mix a few of the colours, you can also give yourself little tasks where you decide on a limited pallet and work selectively in tones and shades of 3 or so colours... It will help you so much more than simply parrot learning theory.

using a colour wheel and taking colour themes from images will take a bit of practice, but its good fun trying stuff out
