Morphology

unmuted = muted (transparent) = un + mute + ed

Negation of the adjective 'muted' (subdued) to mean 'not subdued'—i.e., bright or vivid.

Etymology

Unmuted is made of un- meaning 'not' and mute meaning 'silent', and people call soft colours 'muted', so unmuted colours are the opposite and look bright and strong.
