soft hues
Gentle color shades
Soft hues are colors that appear muted, gentle, or subdued rather than bold or vivid.
The phrase describes tones with low saturation—pastels, dusty shades, or colors that seem washed with white or gray: The room was painted in soft hues of lavender and sage.
Soft hues suggest calm, delicacy, or understated elegance.
