What should I read to learn about white balance and that fucking levels diagram thing? Apparently it's important...

Different types of light have different color temperatures. The histogram is just a way to visualize the black point and white point of different color channels. You can adjust those levels to compensate for different color temperatures.
In Lightroom click with the WB eyedropper on a neutral grey. That's pretty much all you need.

not op but I'm on a similar boat. Trying to git gudder, and while I know how more or less to do a decent post, I want to know what diagrams I should look at and how to read them, if I ever need to. Hell even learning how to read diagrams of lens/camera performance would be highly appreciated just so I know what they entail . I'll try to find one I saw yesterday and post it, and hopefully someone can help me understand it

look up on dan margulis books: "the classic guide to color correction" and "photoshop lab color: canyon conundrum...", the latter being a bit more specialized, not so useful. both are staple of digital photo processing bibliography. both are available on libgen, I think.
