plural colors and clothes question

votes

When describing plural articles of clothing that has more than one color in it, are all the colors made plural as well?

Por ejemplo: Tengo unos mitones rosados y azules. Llevo pantalones negros y plateados.

Are these grammatically correct? It sounded a little funny to me when I said them aloud.

¡Gracias por la ayuda!

The sentences are perfect, adjectives agree in gender and number to the noun

It might be mentioned, however, that one color (violeta) adjective is invariable (number and gender) and that some of the color adjectives have different number forms, but not gender forms. (azul, verde, gris, etc.)
