I'm just leaving a note because there's no indication of JLPT level for this grammar point.

It's N4 in other resources.

It's kind of confusing that the example given for 真っ is the unusual reading of 真っ青...
Also, is anything not listed just constructed as 真+[word]? If so, I feel like that should be indicated... and also, that would make 真っ二つ another confusing example...

Those are good points by @emanresU

Morphological rules like this one are often more straightforward to present in romaji or pseudo-IPA. Hiragana just obscures what’s happening phonetically.

This rule is also easier to understand as a two step process:

  • Ma + Q + adjective
  • Q realization

真夏 and 真冬 are two more special cases.
