Does anyone know why this happens? I started a fresh gradle project with Kotlin for JVM, it appears all grey

I assumed this was normal 😛

Umm so this is normal? I don't know if there is sarcasm in there 😂

No need to worry about grey color in .gradle files 🙂

Assuming you created it from the gradle category you have an option to choose “Kotlin DSL build script” just below the JDK selection. It defaults to groovy.
