Hi! Which is better? 1 or 2? The koala has two different colors. Thanks, Fulvio

1. What color is the the koala’s fur and what is the color of its chest?

2. What color is the koala's fur and chest?

Hi Fulvio! The second question gives the impression that the koala's fur and chest have the same color. I think this would be better: What color is the koala's fur?
