Morphology
This is a regular noun–noun compound where 'rainbow' modifies 'pink' (the Dianthus flower), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a kind/variety of pink—likely with distinctive or multicolored appearance. The compositional pattern is standard in English (modifier + head noun) and is cross-linguistically common, making the overall meaning predictable from the parts.
Etymology
The noun rainbow pink comes from the plant's small, frilly flowers that often come in many bright shades, like a tiny rainbow of blooms. The word pink in the name is the flower type, a small flower like a carnation, not only the color, so the name means 'a colorful, frilly garden flower'.
