120 is 120, color or B&W makes no difference

120 is the standard film. You only need a special back insert if you want to use 135 (i.e., "35 mm") film.

Thank you both. It has been 40 years since I had TLR,a Rolleiflex,and all of my knowledge escaped me. I loved my Rolleiflex,and hope to enjoy the Ricoh.
