Morphology
The meaning 'a natural, muted color that resembles earth or soil' is directly and compositionally derived from 'earthy' (soil-like) + 'color' (visual attribute). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common descriptive pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand.
Etymology
Earthy color comes from the real colours of the ground and soil, like brown, clay and olive green. Because these shades look like the 'earth' and natural materials, the phrase now means a warm, simple, and natural colour.
