Morphology

creamy-white = creamy + white (transparent) = cream + white + y

A direct compound of the adjective 'creamy' (cream + -y) and 'white'; the colour description is predictable from the parts.

Etymology

The word creamy-white comes from cream, the soft pale part of milk, and white, the colour. So, creamy-white means 'having a pale yellowish-white colour', like fresh cream.
