Morphology

violet-tinted = violet + tinted (transparent) = violet + tint + ed

The adjective is clearly a compound of 'violet' and 'tinted' (tint + -ed), so the meaning is directly derivable from its parts.

Etymology

Violet-tinted begins with violet, named after the small purple 'flower' that also gives its name to the color. The second part, tinted, from tint, means 'a small amount of color', so violet-tinted means 'having a slight violet color'.
