if you use this on a recordview…the fields on the forms get greyed out and are not accesible…  
In a listview they don’t gray out…and they are not accessible…

Can’t we use the some coloring (or non-coloring) for all the views…I find it inconsistent behaviour…either they grey out or they don’t…

I, personally, don’t like the grey background. However you can overrule this by setting the background to, let’s say white… Now the color of the background won’t change…
