Morphology

deep-yellow = deep + yellow (transparent) = deep + yellow

The meaning is directly composed from 'deep' (intense) + 'yellow' (color), so learners can derive it as an intense shade of yellow.

Etymology

Deep-yellow is made from deep ('strong, intense') and yellow ('the color'). Like in 'deep blue', deep shows a rich, strong shade, so deep-yellow means a very strong, pumpkin-like yellow.
