Programming :: Bash Array - More Than One Value Per Item?

Is it possible to have an array in Bash that can hold more than one value per item?

For example I would like an array like this:

Entry 1: apple, green
Entry 2: banana, yellow

And be able to call the fruit names and their colour in a list. Something like:

for fruit in "${array[@]}"
do
echo a $fruit is $colour
done

If that is possible, is there a limit to values per item? For example some entries in an array could be:

Entry 1: apple, green, round, pips, tree
Entry 2: banana, yellow, long, skin, tree

And I would like to pick out the values such as #3 being "round" and "long".
