Some species of hen lay egg which contain two yolks, the bakers or in restaurants they call that egg as double crown. As far as grammar is concerned both the sentences are correct for the two colors yellow and white make one word as yolk. the scissors and trousers are treated to be singulars but written as plurals. There are some exceptions which we must keep in mind.
