Morphology

solid + color

The meaning 'a color that is uniform and without patterns or variations' is directly derived from combining 'solid' (uniform, uninterrupted) with 'color' (visual attribute). This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition that is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

The compound solid color comes from the simple image of something painted or made in one even tone: the whole surface is one color and solid, not mixed or patterned. So solid color means 'all the same color' with no patterns.
