To have too much color

Hi

I may be tired today, but I have trouble putting the following sentence together:

The cars in your drawing contain/have too much red color.

Do contain and have make sense here?
  

Top answer

"Contain" does not make sense. The cars in your drawing are too red.

  • "Contain" does not make sense.
  • The cars in your drawing are too red.

Thanks!

What about 'have'? It does sound a bit silly but I'm not so sure.

Also,

The cars in your drawing are of too much red color? - Too formal?

I've been thinking about this example:

Your eyes are a unique blue color.
Your eyes have a unique blue color.

Is 'have' still out of place? Is the first one better?
