Morphology

self-colored = colored (semi-transparent) = self + color + ed

The immediate base 'colored' plus self- suggests a single uniform color, but the conventional adjective is somewhat lexicalized.

Etymology

Self-colored is made from self and colored. The self part here means 'same', so self-colored means 'all one color' or 'solid', not patterned.
