Okay, here's how it works:
Super Saiyan God is a Super Saiyan form that uses God Ki (God Ki being a Wuxia concept: basically divine, heavenly Ki of that of a god/deity, which in other Wuxia stories CAN potentially be tapped into by mortal martial arts masters, but its VERY rare and
exceedingly difficult, requiring lifetimes worth of training and Daoist Ki cultivation: in DB Super, Goku - and later Vegeta, offscreen - gains access to it via a special Saiya-jin ritual). This form turns their hair and eye color deep red, and it also makes their muscles much leaner overall.
Super Saiyan Blue is what happens when a character who is already in Super Saiyan God form THEN adds on TOP of that the power of a regular Super Saiyan (which obviously uses normal, mortal-level Ki). Obviously this then turns the hair bright blue and is suitably much more powerful than Super Saiyan God on its own.
Then there's Super Saiyan Rose, which is the same as Super Saiyan Blue, except its colored pink. Its exclusive solely to Goku Black, and its existence is basically a freak occurrence stemming from an ACTUAL God (who uses God Ki/Divine/Heavenly Ki natually, rather than having had to train for it) using the power of a mortal bodied Super Saiyan's power (that of course being Goku, as Goku Black is the insane Kaioshin Zamasu having body-jacked Goku in an alternate timeline).
That make sense?

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.
