Morphology

seafoam = sea + foam (semi-transparent) = sea + foam

The color name is a figurative extension from the compound referring to froth; the relation is clear but metaphorical.

Etymology

Seafoam as a color comes from sea + foam, because the foam on the sea often looks a soft 'pale greenish-blue'. So the color seafoam means that pale green-blue shade you see in the ocean's froth.
