Description
**The Error**
'different coloured' may be incorrect because it does not grammatically indicate a difference of colour, but instead a generic difference.
It may often be used by mistake instead of 'different*ly* coloured', which does indicate a difference of colour.
**Examples (2–3):**
1. "I have a different coloured dog from yours."
2. "My eggs are different cooked from Charlie's."
**References**
Any grammar rules or resources that support this.
**Potential Edge Cases**
