Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'salmon' (a pale pinkish‑orange color) with 'pink' (a pale red hue), so the phrase denotes a pale pink shade with a slight orange/yellow tinge. This compositional color‑naming pattern is common and transparent across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Salmon pink comes from the pale pink flesh of the fish salmon. Because fresh salmon meat is a warm pink with a little orange or yellow, the name now means 'a pale pink color with a slight orange or yellow tinge'.
