Morphology
The phrase 'deep brown' is a direct composition of 'deep' as an intensifier (meaning intense or of greater degree) and the color 'brown', so the intended meaning 'a darker or more intense brown' is immediately derivable from the parts. This adjective + color pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English modifier logic, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
The color name deep brown comes from a simple picture: imagine a brown so dark it seems to have depth, like deep water or rich soil. Because deep suggests 'strong' or 'dark' and brown is the color, deep brown now means a rich, dark brown.
