Color in design is always evolving. Shaped by cultural shifts, lifestyle changes and our growing connection to nature, today’s trending palette of Muted Solids reflects a movement toward colors that feel softer, more natural and timeless. From refreshing greens to grounded reds and calming blues, this capsule highlights the understated elegance of muted tones, offering inspiration for interiors across residential, office and hospitality spaces.
The Power of Muted Solids
Muted colors carry a quiet strength. They’re less about bold statements and more about creating balance, atmosphere and emotional connection. Their versatility allows them to anchor a space, or act as accents that bring warmth and depth to natural materials like wood and stone.
EGGER’s Muted Solids Capsule features four standout colors that capture this movement:
U335 Rusty Red: A Touch of Warmth and Privacy
Solid colors with a reddish appearance are surging in popularity, particularly in spaces designed for comfort and connection. Rusty Red strikes a delicate balance: intense enough to feel expressive, but softened by greyish pigments for a high-quality, timeless look. In ‘New Work’ offices or hospitality design, it fosters a sense of closeness and privacy. Pair it tone-on-tone with other reddish hues, or contrast it with natural wood decors for a sophisticated palette.
U502 Misty Blue: A Modern, Sustainable Accent
Muted blue shades symbolize a meeting point between sustainability and technology. Misty Blue is an intense yet balanced tone that enlivens interiors without overwhelming them. When paired with woodgrain decors in light to medium natural tones, it creates freshness and lightness. Its adaptability makes it perfect for gradations with other muted blues, offering designers a way to layer color with subtle elegance.
U604 Reed Green: Biophilic Calm and Natural Elegance
As the color most closely tied to nature, green resonates deeply with sustainability and wellbeing. Reed Green is a cooler, greyish tone that reflects the sophistication of biophilic design. Combined with medium to dark brown woods, it feels elegant and grounded; with lighter woods, it offers freshness and natural harmony.
The Supporting Role of Grey
To round out the capsule, U780 Monument Grey adds a sophisticated anchor with its blue undertones. This versatile neutral connects effortlessly with muted blues or blue-grey woodgrains, expanding the palette’s depth and compositional balance.
Muted Solids in Application
From modern workplaces to hospitality design, muted solids bring a timeless elegance that feels both current and enduring. Their matte surface texture, ST9 Smoothtouch Matt, enhances their natural appeal, making them inviting to the touch while delivering a modern, understated look.
