Morphology

deep-pink = deep + pink (transparent) = deep + pink

The meaning is directly derived from 'deep' as an intensifier modifying the colour 'pink', indicating a strong or intense shade.

Etymology

Deep-pink simply joins deep ('very strong') and pink (the color named after a small 'pink' flower), so it means a very strong, bright shade of pink.
