Morphology

pink-tinged = pink + tinged (transparent) = pink + tinge + ed

The adjective is clearly formed by combining 'pink' with the participial adjective 'tinged', meaning having a slight tint of pink.

Etymology

Pink-tinged is easy to picture: pink comes from the pink flower that gave its name to the color, and tinge means a 'light touch' of color. So pink-tinged describes something with a 'small touch of pink'.
