Morphology
The meaning 'a dark red to nearly black colour like ripe cherries' is directly and compositionally derived from 'black' (dark colour) + 'cherry' (the fruit), naming a hue that resembles the fruit's skin. This follows a common color-naming pattern (e.g. 'cherry red', 'navy blue') that is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner knowing both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Black cherry comes from the tree and its dark fruit. The ripe cherries are very dark red, almost black, so people called the fruit and the tree black cherry, and today the word still means that dark cherry or the tree.
