grammaticality - Plural or singular when comparing two different objects?


Should I use plural or singular when comparing two different objects? For example, I want to tell a friend that I have two clothes that are of different styles but have the same color.



"The colors of shirt-A and shirt-B are blue."




or should I say,



"The color of shirt-A and shirt-B is blue."



or maybe even the following?



"The colors of both shirt-A and shirt-B are blue." vs "The color of both shirt-A and shirt-B is blue."
