It's a common, neutral color.

Does a beautiful color really bother you or make you irritable? I don't get this...

It's happened with houses too. Beige, grey, blechh..

It's just fashion. Things are in, things are out. This muted neutral palette will soon be as recognizable as being dated as a kitchen in 1970s harvest gold and avocado green. Or a 1980s hunter-green chintz-filled living room featuring an outrageous amount of curtain fabric. But nothing-but-neutrals will likely be here for a while yet.
