The black and white stripes relate to the one letter abbreviation for Threonine, which is T. Since the letter T is the 20th letter of the alphabet the colour metric for 20 is used: orange represents one, while white represents zero.
Since this R-Group has two carbons, there are two black dots. Also the field is pink as to indicate there is an alcohol in the amino acid T. Pink is used to represent alcohol because in most models oxygen is usually red and hydrogen usually white: together, red with white makes pink.
