Morphology
The meaning 'a strong, dark, and vivid shade of red' is directly derivable from combining 'deep' (very strong/intense) with 'red' (the color); 'deep' functions as an intensifier producing an intensified color sense. This adjectival composition follows standard English modifier + color patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Deep red comes from the image of a deep and dark red colour, like a glass of red wine or a rich drop of blood that looks thick and full. That's why the phrase means 'a strong, dark red'.
