The thing is I haven't even been anywhere NEAR any settings in the last couple days. I last made an update on Saturday (so 3 days ago) and the change definitely happened today.

I hadn't even edited an individual post let alone go into any site settings. Like I really honestly have not even opened or viewed anything settings-like. I've only viewed the blog itself on the blog (ie. to see if I've got any new comments).

Everything including the comments have all gone grey.

This happened once before: a couple months back, I upgraded to a paid wordpress plan and it all went grey like this. However, I then undid that purchase (you get a cooling off period of a few days during which you can revert back to the unpaid plan and get a full refund. I had got the paid plan as I planned to run ads but then I decided my traffic is too light to try this atm).

Anyway, it went grey like this when I was on the paid plan (though I had made no settings changes) and reverted to black after I reverted back and got the refund. I think this was a couple months back.

I haven't touched anything since and today it just went grey! argh! I hate it!
