At least part of the reason is that Gray is a fairly common color; Clear is more
rare (for most parts). When parts where shown in gray, it was sometimes
confusing whether it was gray-the-actual-color or gray-the-default-color. Using
a less-common color reduces the amount of confusion.
The only way to completely avoid confusion would be to find a color that would
not be confused with an actual LEGO color. That's a challenging proposition
these days.

| (...) LDView has a nice feature where you can specify the default color for parts. I use rgb(128,128,80); it's close to grey, but tinted enough to easily differentiate grey parts from color 16. Andy (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
