Morphology
The meaning 'a pale yellow-green color resembling a pistachio nut' is directly derivable from combining 'pistachio' (a pale green nut) with 'green' (a color); it is a straightforward adjectival color compound. This compositional pattern (e.g. 'olive green', 'apple green') is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Pistachio green comes from the pale yellow-green inside a pistachio nut, and the word green shows it is a 'color'. So pistachio green means that soft, pale shade people use for clothes and rooms today.
