Multiple adjectives?
I feel like this should be obvious to me, but I Googled it and now I feel confused. Which are right?
El monstruo tiene una cola corta y morada.
El monstruo tiene una cola morada y corta.
El monstruo tiene una colca morada corta.
¿Dónde está la pelota roja pequeña?
¿Dónde está la pelota roja y pequeña?
¿Dónde está la pelota pequeña roja?
I know in English, we say "a big red ball" to describe, generally a ball that is both big and red. A "red big ball" means that there are lots of big balls that I am talking about and I am focusing in on the red one.
What about in Spanish? Help? Which is the default way?

I think all of them that have a "y" are ok but in those that haven't it, I would say:
El monstruo tiene una corta cola morada.
¿Dónde está la pequeña pelota roja?
In this cases if you don't use a "y" use first the adjective that describes clearer the noun, like short and small, the colours are less important, of course I am not saying that this is a rule but that's how I think they sound better.
