Beautiful, but a very unlikely muted shield design. Bearing in mind gladiators were being viewed by most of the crowd from a distance, shields would be bright metal or brightly coloured?

While CooperSteveOnTheLaptop makes an excellent moot point, all I could think of was the following:

The fox who longed for grapes, beholds with pain The tempting clusters were too high to gain; Grieved in his heart he forced a careless smile, And cried ,‘They're sharp and hardly worth my while.

I think the muted tones are to model being worn by combat, no?

Sir Walter, how do you know I don't paint with that degree of skill?
