THE FUCKING BEIGE.
SO MUCH FUCKING BEIGE.
My older coworkers (like, in-their-60’s-old) told me it was to hide cigarettes smoke stains better. I don’t think they’re joking.
Having had the singular experience of cleaning my grandfather's house after he died (he was a multi-pack-a-day smoker who always smoked inside), there's a non-zero chance the beige WAS the cigarette stains in some houses.
After much scrubbing, we were very surprised to learn his walls were white.
