Anyone have the knowledge and/or resources for a break down of deck strategies per deck color and color combinations? I would like some type of reference to look at while building decks until I have things memorized.

Here is what I keep in mind when building decks:
Blue: control, card draw
Black: graveyard, discard
Green: mana ramp, large creatures, Elf tokens
Red: burn spells, goblins
White: life gain,
exile
, balanced boosts, soldier tokens

Depends, what format are you looking into? That establishes the scope of the answer.

When i started playing magic the gathering i started in the RETURN TO RAVNICA block, it focused on a ten guild color system where every guild had two of the five colors. When i build my decks across planes (or blocks) I keep the those play styles in mind because their abilities tend to stretch across multiple mechanics.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-forum/standard/guilds-strenghts-weaknesses-and-play-styles/
Here is a link that i keep concerning the mechanics and the play stlyes about those ten guilds. Once you understand how those color combinations play with each other it'll be easier to notice this across the different card sets that are released in the future. Also keep in mind that the colors themselves have their own personalities and identities. A Black and Red deck from innistrad won' play exactly like a Rakdos deck from Ravnica, but the Red and white humans from Theros sometimes play similar to the Boros (Red/White) guild on Ravnica. Learn first the COLOR IDENTITIES of those combinations then master the MECHANICS of the set you're playing. It'll be a lot easier for you and make deck building more fun.
