Morphology

bronze-red = bronze + red (transparent) = bronze + red

The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'bronze' + 'red' indicating a red colour with bronze/coppery tint, which learners can derive from the components.

Etymology

Bronze-red combines bronze, the warm brown color of the metal you see on old coins and statues, and red, so it means a red with a 'coppery' or brownish shine like a sunset or a bronze medal.
