I think they would all look great together. Nice fabric.

I think they look very nice together. The muted ones add interest and will give your finished piece more dimension. Go for it!

I believe they neither match nor clash, however they do coordinate.

I like the three hexagons that you have together -

I think the muted ones look washed out and 'old/used' with the brighter prints.
This would be my preference also

Another option is to dip, and I mean 'quick dip,' your bright fabrics in a strong tea solution to 'antique' them. That's worked for me several times.

I would say for you to use the fabrics that you want in the runner. I see no problem with mixing dull with bright.
