Morphology

crimson-magenta = crimson + magenta (transparent) = crimson + magenta

A straightforward hyphenated compound of two colour names; the meaning is the blend/shade combining crimson and magenta.

Etymology

Crimson-magenta joins two color names: crimson, which comes from a long-used 'red dye' made from tiny insects, and magenta, named after the 'Battle of Magenta' in Italy when a purple-red dye took that name. So the combined name helps you remember this shade is a deep purplish-red with warm, rich tones.
