Morphology

mauve-pink = mauve + pink (transparent) = mauve + pink

The meaning is the direct combination of two colour terms: pink tinted with mauve, so learners can infer it from the parts.

Etymology

Mauve-pink combines mauve, a French name for the mallow flower that means 'pale purple', and pink, named after a small flower called the 'pink', so it means a pink color with a little purple in it.
