How naturalistic is this? Colors & Composition in Sein'

So, I've just discovered that Seinundjé has an unusual way of marking
the color and composition of objects. The usual word order in noun
phrases is modifier-head, but with color marking, it turns to head-modifier:

dháta jzwul
dry earth

jzwul lúyun
earth blue

That's not all that interesting.

But there's a closed set of materials that are marked in a special way;
the head takes an infix that denotes the category of material, and the
modifier indicates the specific material, like so:

rómo
sword

rómot lédh
sword-METAL black
"iron sword"

rómot tháya
sword-METAL red
"copper sword"

rómonh fála
sword-WOOD white
"ivory/bone sword"

rómonh sádha
sword-WOOD yellow
"birchwood sword"

Is this totally weird? Do natlangs do stuff like that?

The "Million Style Manual" is a set of sixty-four jade stones marked
with pieces of Chinese characters. It expresses the kung fu of the void,
as taught by P'an Ku's axe.
