I found out that one of the capacitors on my xbox one x motherboard is blown. I'm totally new to reading capcitors. How do I read these and when sourcing them are they all the same even if the colors are different?

Those are solid polymer capacitors. 470 means C=470uF same as 270 means C=270uF. They're polarized that's why they're marked with the colored side (It is the cathode)
To test if they work or not you need to extract it from the board. Then you discharge the capacitor (just connect a resistor to it). Use your multimeter in capacitance measurement mode and that's it.
