indistinctive
Nothing sets apart
Indistinctive means lacking distinctive qualities—ordinary, unremarkable, or failing to stand out: The building's indistinctive facade blended into the block.
The word appears less often than its near-synonym *undistinctive*, and both are far rarer than *nondescript* or simply *ordinary*.
