I've seen such beautiful muted colors in other cookies before but no matter what i do i can't seem to get this effect in my colors . are there any tips for this? aside from just using a little bit of the color your using . It almost looks like there is another color added if that makes any sense i just can't quite figure it out lol

The secret ingredient is Ivory! I find that a touch of Ivory can really change a color -- it becomes softer, warmer, and more subtle.
Or a touch of brown!
oh that makes total sense i knew it couldnt be black lol but i will be trying those this weekend thanks so much both of you!
I do add black as well to mute colors - just depends on the color and which direction I want to take it on the color wheel. For instance, adding brown to red-red will make it more of a brick/orange color, whereas adding black to red-red will make it a richer burgundy almost.
