I plan on getting a pair of clownfish as my first saltwater fish as I heard that they are great to start out as and are hardy. One thing is that I saw a very cool looking black and white clownfish. Now I want one but will a black and white one get along with a orange and white clownfish? Or will they be fine even though they are different colors?

They are both A. occelaris so which color morph they are won’t matter. The black and white Darwin clowns are technically considered a possible separate subspecies by some, but for your purposes it’s totally fine.
If you look at any designer clowns, you can ignore the colors as long as the species are the same. For example, don’t mix a Lightning Maroon Clown with a Picasso Occlearis, etc....
