Morphology

creamy-yellow = creamy + yellow (transparent) = creamy + yellow

The meaning is directly derived from combining the adjectives 'creamy' and 'yellow' to indicate a yellow shade with a pale/creamy tint.

Etymology

Creamy-yellow combines cream ('the thick part of milk') and yellow ('the colour of the sun'), so it describes a soft, pale yellow that looks smooth and light like cream.
