Morphology

solid-colored = solid + color (transparent) = solid + color + ed

A straightforward compound of 'solid' and the adjectival form 'colored' (color + -ed); meaning 'having a single uniform color' is directly deducible.

Etymology

The word solid-colored comes from solid ('whole' or 'one piece') and color ('color'). So a solid-colored shirt or pillow has 'one whole color' with no pattern, which is why it looks simple and is easy to match with other things.
