As stated in the description: the colors may vary. I'm a little disappointed not to have had white nor black. However I have received 8 different colors: red, orange (a little too dark in my opinion), yellow, apple green, turquoise, royal blue, purple and fuschia. The elastic is quite strong, I have broken into a date. By cons I found the "S" clips provided with a little too big, it's not pretty in a creation.
