Morphology
The phrase 'eye color' is a transparent noun–noun construction: knowing 'eye' (the organ) and 'color' (a visual attribute) allows a learner to infer it refers to the color of the eye/iris. This compositional modifier–head pattern is common across languages and follows ordinary semantic combination, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
Eye color comes from the simple image of the eye and its color, the part that can look blue, brown, or green. So today eye color means 'the color of a person's eyes'.
