1) The field was covered with many-colored flowers.
2) The field was covered with multicolored flowers.
Can we tell if each flower has many colors or if there are flowers of different colors but each flower has one color?
3) The schoolchildren had many-colored jackets.
4) The schoolchildren had multicolored jackets.
Can we tell if each jacket has many colors or if there are jackets of different colors but each jacket has one color?
I think in the case of flowers each flower has one color or maybe two, but in the case of jackets things are not necessarily clear.
I think a many-colored flower is rare. A motley jacket is not. I think one would just assume that a flower has one or two colors.
