Morphology
yellow-blue + color + blindness
The phrase is a straightforward composition: 'yellow-blue' names the two hues, combined with 'color' and 'blindness' to mean an inability to distinguish those colors. A B1 learner who knows the words 'yellow', 'blue', 'color', and 'blindness' can readily infer this clinical meaning because the construction is fully compositional and follows common adjective + noun patterns.
Etymology
Yellow-blue color blindness is named for the two colors people with the condition often mix up: they confuse yellow and blue, so a blue sky or a yellow flower can look wrong. That's why the name describes the specific kind of color confusion a person has.
