Morphology

garnet-colored = garnet + colored (transparent) = garnet + color + ed

Formed by the clear combination of 'garnet' + 'colored' (i.e. having the color of garnet), so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Garnet-colored comes from the gem garnet, whose name comes from the Latin granatum meaning 'seed' because the deep red stones looked like pomegranate seeds. So garnet-colored means a deep, rich red like those bright seeds or the gem itself.
