Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a shade of red that includes an orange tint is clearly derived from combining 'orange' (a hue) and 'red' (a color). Colour-word combinations are a common and transparent descriptive pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended shade.
Etymology
Orange red comes from putting the two colours orange and red together, like the bright tone you see in the middle of a sunset or on a ripe fruit with a red blush. That's why it means a 'vivid shade of red with an orange tinge'.
