Color or colors?
In a picture there is a girl who holds three baloons, a red one, a green one, and an orange one. A boy says:

---- I see three baloons. They are red, green, and orange color. ----

Should "color" has been "colors"? Or what are the most common ways to say the meaning of the second sentence?

Should "color" has been "colors"? Or what are the most common ways to say the meaning of the second sentence?

Answer

In English, we generally don't say color in that situation. "There are three balloons. They are red, green, and blue."
If you desperately want to say color, you could say, "Their colors are red, green and blue." But I would stick with the first one.

Answer

You could also say “They are red, green and blue in color.” It’s not necessary here or common colloquially though.
The ball is red.
The ball has the color red.
The ball is red in color.

Answer

In your sentence, "red", "green", and "blue" are all adjectives. So, you don't need to add a noun "color" behind them.
