Morphology

rose-lilac = rose + lilac (transparent) = rose + lilac

The hyphenated compound directly names a colour combining qualities of 'rose' (pink) and 'lilac' (pale purple), which learners can readily infer.

Etymology

Rose-lilac combines rose and lilac. Think of a pink rose meeting a pale purple lilac flower, so the color is 'pale purple' with a touch of 'pink'.
