Morphology
The meaning 'a vivid, intense shade of red' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bright' (vivid, intense) with 'red' (a color); the modifier clearly specifies intensity of the color. This adjective + color composition is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English modifier patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Bright red pairs bright, meaning strong or shining, with red, so picture a stop sign or a ripe apple that immediately grabs your eye. That's why it means 'a vivid, intense shade of red'.
