Perhaps  this is to allow for the vestments and the people in them to
add the  missing color and life? This seems to be what happens at St.
Mary  Magdalene, Toronto, whose sanctuary looks positively whitewashed
and very  empty until Mass starts and people come  in.>>>>>>>>>>
 
This is a valid design feature.  The famous poured concrete  Abbey
at Saint John's University in Minnesota by Marcel Breurer was 
purposely left gray and plain, and the intention was to give the
color via the liturgies.
 
However, with the low church history of VTS, there will probably
not be any Solemn Masses with deacon/subdeacon/celebrant,
though I think they have graduated to chasubles.
