Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'burnt' (heated/darkened) modifies 'sienna' (a reddish-brown pigment), so the meaning 'a reddish-brown pigment/darker variety of sienna produced by heating' is directly inferable from the parts. This follows common color/pigment naming patterns (e.g. 'burnt umber') and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Burnt sienna comes from a brown earth used by painters near the city of Siena in Italy that they heated to make a richer red-brown. The name joins burnt, meaning heated, and sienna, the place, so today burnt sienna means a warm reddish-brown 'color' used in painting.
