Morphology
The noun 'color scheme' is a straightforward composition of 'color' (visual attribute) and 'scheme' (an organized arrangement), so the meaning 'a planned or coordinated combination of colors' is directly derivable from its parts. This is a common, cross-linguistic way to describe coordinated colors (e.g., Spanish 'esquema de color', French 'schéma de couleurs'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Color scheme began as the simple idea of a planned set of colors in one scheme—picture a painter laying out a few paint samples to see which ones go well together. That's why today color scheme means 'a planned or coordinated combination of colors'.
