Morphology

multihued = hued (transparent) = multi + hue + ed

The meaning is directly compositional: 'multi-' means many, and 'hued' means having a hue or color.

Etymology

Multihued is like the common word multicolored, made of multi- 'many' and hue 'color'. Think of a rainbow or a bright garden, because that's why multihued means having many different colors and, more generally, many varied qualities.
