Morphology
The meaning 'a chart showing a range of colors' is directly and compositionally derived from the nouns 'color' (hue/shade) + 'chart' (a visual display), following a regular noun–noun compound pattern in English. This transparent compositional logic is common across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Color chart is a simple sheet that shows many small color samples on a chart, like a fan of paint chips at a paint store. People use it to 'compare' and 'choose' the right shade, so the term means a guide for picking colors.
