what colour hair

Hello,
I would like to ask about such sentences:

1.What colour hair do you have?
2. What hair colour do you have?
3. What colour eyes do you have?
4. What eyes colour do you have?
5. I would like to know what colour eyes/hair you have.
6. I would like to know what eyes/hair colour you have.

Are all the sentences correct? I know that nos. 1 and 3 are correct but I was wondering about the rest of the sentences.

Thank you in advance for your help!
Kind regards.

"Eye" needs to be singular if it comes before "color". Otherwise, the sentences look fine. "

It's much more common to phrase it like this: "What color is your hair?" "What color are your eyes?"

Or: What is the color of your hair/eyes?
