I am going to make up two sentences below.

(1) These old different-colored (or different color) crayons are very rare and valuable.

(2) The different-colored
(or different color) designs of these purses were created by a very famous designer two years ago.

I have seen both forms, "different-colored" and "different color", used on the internet. Which one is grammatically correct? Please help me. Thanks a lot.
 
That comes under compound adjective which is hyphenated.
