So I read somewhere that you cannot describe an item with two colours using
te-form. eg そのシャツは赤くてしろいです. Just want to verify if it's true, and if so, how
would you link them? Would using the noun form of colours be correct? eg
そのシャツは赤と白いです。

question
て-form colors
Linking two colours with te-form
In general, it is true combining color adjective with te-form would sound
unnatural like そのシャツは赤くて白いです. It sounds like _the shirt is red and white_ ,
which is not possible. That said, practically, it may well be understood as
_Red and white are used for the shirt (there are red part and white part in
the shirt)_.

Using noun form is fine, but you should use nouns for both: そのシャツは赤と白です.

My impression is that usually the description is more specific.

  * そのシャツは白地に赤のロゴ入りです The shirt has a red logo with white background.
  * そのシャツは青と黄色の縞模様です The shirt has blue and yellow stripes.

`Color A と Color B` is more likely when it is understood how they are used.
