I know because I looked at numerous new homes this last year and it was all over the place. Builders seem to LOVE grey (it must be cheap) and they are not moving toward the warmer color palettes that most designers are moving to due to the overload of cold, grey rooms.
That and wallpaper, some color saturations and some boring all white rooms.
