Why are abandoned gas stations painted dark gray?

Question:
Every time a gas station around here is empty (change of owners or abandoned) it is painted dark gray. It dosen't matter who owns the building. I have noticed it with all major gas companies. The whole building is painted, doors, windows, trim, everything, and only dark gray. Why

Answers:
