Colours may vary: the OLED may be yellow/blue, white, blue, or yellow; the neoprene may be black, grey/silver, teal, or wine; and the silver conductive fabric style may vary — all are equivalent for the build.
You'll need a USB-C data cable to program your board. Many USB-C cables are charge-only and will not work — if you're not sure, grab our USB-C data cable.
