Per Clarkson years ago on Top Gear it’s because it’s difficult to get the colors to match on plastic bumpers and metal fenders/doors, especially as the paint ages. So the cheap option is just various greyscale samples.

I've got a beautiful orange car and I'm proud of it ! So easy to find where I parked

Btw, this is in Wolfsburg Germany, which is where Volkswagen are based. Which also explains why 90% of the cars in the pic are VW's.
