夏色 is literally summer-like color, but it has a poetic nuance. Actually, there isn't such a color.
But we sometimes use this word. When I hear "夏色", I can imagine not only the color such a blue and white, but also the color of the sea, shining sun and so on that we see in summer.
桜色 is a bit different from 夏色. It is an existing color for real.
There are many words to express colors in Japan. They are almost named after nature: trees, flowers, fruits, animals and so on. Those names of colors are beautiful and impressive, I think.
Honestly, I don't know all of names though xD.

夏色 is summer colors such as blue, navy blue, and white.
桜色 is the color of sakura blossom. Maybe pale pink in English.
