Morphology
The meaning 'a shade of pink tinged with yellow' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'yellowish' (having a hint of yellow) with 'pink' (the color). This adjective + color composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun yellowish pink comes from combining yellowish (meaning 'a little yellow') with pink to name a colour that mixes the two. Imagine a soft sunrise where pink clouds have a touch of yellow; that's why it means 'a shade of pink with a hint of yellow'.
