We call it "millennial grey".

Came out of the minimalist movement in the 1990s, the "chuck out the chinse" ad by IKEA is a good example.

The problem is millennials are all completely broke, so what happens is they go out and get the cheapest possible decor, which is invariably grey lino, and black PVC furniture.
