I will color all adjectives in blue:
The \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm small }\) containers for the \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm fall }\) plants were \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm orange }\) and \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm brown }\).

(in \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm green }\), it is a noun that is used as an adjective)

Answer 2

So it's orange and brown?

Answer 3

adjective that:
1) follows a linking verb (in this case, it's "\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm were }\)" )
2) modifies the subject (in this case, it's "\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm plants }\)" )

yes I think it is so.
1) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm were~orange~and~brown }\)
2) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm orange~and~brown~containers }\)
