Use of colons in questions

Hi. I think the use of a comma for this example sentence is correct.

Who is taller in the story, the man or the woman?

But are these example sentences with colons correct? Thank you in advance for your help.

Which is yours: the ball in the box or the ball in the bag?

Who is faster: the young man in the blue shirt or the boy in the yellow shirt?
