Morphology

colorway = color + way (transparent) = color + way

The compound combines 'color' and 'way' (way = manner/arrangement), so the sense 'specific arrangement of colors' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Colorway comes from the two simple words color and way, where way can mean a 'path' or a 'style'. So a colorway is a particular set of colors used together on a product or design.
