A typical modern motherboard has 1 IDE channel, which can support 2 devices. IDE has been replaced by Serial ATA (SATA), so modern boards have 2 to 8 SATA ports. Older motherboards may have 2 to 6 IDE channels, which could support 4-12 IDE devices.
Colour doesnt matter for the IDE. It is the number of pins that are available in the IDE slot If it is a 40pin IDE, it will support HDD and CD/ DVD RAM drives. If it is a 34 pin IDE, it supports the FDD
To the IDE cable, 2 Hard disks can be connected as Master and Slave.(Hard disks that support IDE). 4 SATA ports could be used for 4 Hard Disks.
