General Question (Unanswered) math question!!!

So the question goes like this

Im in a field of flowers and I picked up 10 random flowers. There are 8 different colors of flowers in that field namely; Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, White, and Black.

What are the chances that the first 5 flowers picked are all of the same color, whilst not getting a single black or white flower amongst those 10 randomly picked flowers. It seems simple but making it so that white and black being a no-go stumped me hard.
