almondy = almond (transparent) = almond + y

Productive adjectival formation from the noun 'almond' with the suffix '-y' meaning 'having the quality of' which directly yields color-related descriptions.

Almondy comes from almond and the ending -y, which means 'having' or 'like', so it describes a pale brown or creamy color 'like' an almond.
