Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'brown' (a color adjective) modifies 'rice' to indicate rice that is brown in color—typically unpolished grain. This adjective+noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistically common construction, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Brown rice comes from the simple image of rice that still has its brown outer layer, the 'bran', so the grains look brown and taste nuttier. That's why brown rice means rice left whole and with more fiber and nutrients.
