Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'achromatic' (lacking hue, related to black/white/grey) modifies 'color', so the combined meaning is simply 'a color without hue'. This adjective+noun construction is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The term achromatic color comes from two old Greek parts: a- meaning 'no' or 'without', and chroma meaning 'color'. So it gives the image of a color that has no hue, which is why it means 'a color without hue' like white, grey, or black.
