I'm not sure but it looks like the flys on that site only use 1 or 2
different colors of foam. Did they use a black marker for the other color?
Can someone look at the close up pics and let me know?
I thought it was 3 pieces of foam for a minute and couldn't figure out how
they did that.

Two colors of foam are normally used for the lure (can't call it a fly
any more), the side line is made by tying in a piece of antron, flash or
whatever you've got handy at the back of the fly, and tied along the
body after the segment is formed.
Nice, but not necessary - lures like these are fished on the big rivers
over here, in more than decent sizes. The fish don't seem to care :-).
Hope this helps,
