There are sets with olive green buildings as well, which are visible around the web even if you've only encountered the gray ones. As I mentioned earlier, it's a running change, one that apparently exists with the Packs of Destruction as well, but those haven't shown up in stores nearly as widespread as the action figures or the Destruction City yet. The buildings for those sets are red (Godzilla) and blue (Winged Muto) or gray (both).

As for the reason why the change was made, via a Toho Kingdom interview:

Mirjahangir: Why are the buildings different colors yet on the back of the box, they're grey?

Bandai: Originally all of the buildings were grey and some of the early shipments will likely come this way. However we decided that since grey isn't exactly replica to real buildings that we would add some color just for fun. So, if you can find packs with all grey buildings, you may have a limited edition.
