color

To be sure I understand, my response will be:
Do you have two shirts in each color?
If I understand your quesiton, it's "colors"

Without further information, you would think each shirt has both colors, right?

No, I'd think the oppostie without any futher context, that you had two yellow shirts and two red shirts.

I have two red-and-yellow shirts makes it clear you have two shirts, and each shirt has both colors.

Hi,

If they were each one colour, I'd clarify it by saying I have two red shirts and two yellow shirts.

Are they Spanish football shirts?
By the way I don't agree with GG. The picture this draws for me is that each shirt has both colours. And obviously it's not possible to clarify speach by adding hyphens. Anyway if she interprets it one way and I interpret it another it must be ambiguous.

That's what I would say, too.

1. I like the yellow and the red shirt.
