I've heard that when staging a home for sale, they use that paint and carpet color. Neutral colors sell better because they don't clash with furniture or other decor and it's easier for the buyer to imagine their stuff in the home. Gray walls and gray laminate flooring are also becoming popular neutrals. So many buyers get turned off by a property because they can't get past the loud paint colors of the previous owner. It's dumb, but so are a lot of people.

Not just US homes. That describes 99% of Canadian homes too.

10 years ago, yes. Today they are shades of grey instead of shades of tan.
