Android Controlled LEDs via Bluetooth

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello, I am new to Arduino and I have some questions that I hope will help me get started on my first project.

What I want to do is create an Android app (in progress, not what I'm asking about) that communicates via bluetooth to a board that will be be able to turn an RGB LED array (whose color and specific LEDs will be set from the Android App) and a string of LEDs on and off.

My first, and currently only question, is what board and bluetooth shield would best serve me in this project?

Thanks in advance!

If this is a bad question let me know, otherwise any help would be greatly appreciated.

An Arduino UNO, and a JY-MCU bluetooth module will work fine.
