I can confirm that Mal's tables contain rocks of many different colours.

This is a section of stonework from within our house. It wouldn’t seem unreasonable for ruins to be grey based on this

Here's a selection of colour images from Normandy https://time.com/92783/d-day-color-phot ... -normandy/ various shades of gray, brown, red and ochre, depending upon the stone & brick.

That wasn't me. Just some incredibly handsome, tall & articulate random stranger who seems to be my doppelgänger.

Is it irrelevant to bring up the colour of belly-button fluff? (usually blue).

I think that it was back in the days when PMT had useful content that Mal went absolutely ballistic on the preponderance of grey rocks

The handles on those Royal Armouries pikes look surprisingly curvy. Maybe those Minifigs 15mm pikemen were a lot more accurate than we thought......

The ones on my Minifigs resembled cooked spaghetti. They were promptly replaced with proper (& properly sharp) ones made from florists wire.

Our rocks are quite black because we burn people I mean things on them.
We had a sheep kidnapped from the nearby sheepfield a few days ago, shot in a different field, gutted and remains left behind. But that's nothing to do with rocks, sorry.

Response to OP: because they look OK like that, and stand out nicely from green and brown terrain.

Some people are fundamentally modellers who care a lot and will buy and use the correct rock-weathering paint set for the specific location their terrain represents.
Some are primarily wargamers who are willing to give it some thought, but are fundamentally OK with a rock being grey.
There might be people who fall into both camps, who knows?
