Morphology

brown-haired = brown + haired (transparent) = brown + hair + ed

The adjective combines a colour adjective and 'haired' meaning 'having hair of that colour', so the meaning is directly inferable from its parts.

Etymology

Brown-haired joins brown, meaning the color 'brown', and hair, meaning 'the hair on your head'. So it simply means 'having hair of a brown color', which makes it easy to picture someone with brown hair.
