Morphology

coffee + rose

The compound simply combines the color senses of 'coffee' (brown) and 'rose' (pink), so the meaning 'a warm, muted pinkish-brown' is directly inferable from the constituents. Color noun+noun formations are a common, compositional pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily grasp this meaning.

Etymology

The color coffee rose comes from the idea of coffee (brown) and rose (pink) together, making a warm pinkish-brown shade used in clothes and rooms, so the name now means that 'color'.
