The adjective is a straightforward derivation 'earth' + '-like' meaning 'resembling earth' specifically in colour/appearance.

Etymology

Earthlike is made of the simple parts earth and -like, where earth means 'soil' and -like means 'similar to'. So an earthlike color is one that looks like soil and gives a warm, natural feeling.
