Morphology

beigy = beige (transparent) = beige + y

The word 'beigy' is transparently derived from 'beige' with the addition of the suffix '-y', indicating a quality of having the color beige.

Etymology

Beigy comes from beige plus the simple ending -y, which means 'like' or 'full of', so it works like words such as snowy or leafy. That's why beigy means 'light brown' or 'like beige', a soft brownish-yellow color you might see in sand or wool.
