I see grey tile in some of the photos, but I don't think I see it as a color option. Is the grey I see in the photos the "gunmetal" color?
Kevin
The grey color you see in the photo is Gunmetal . Due to lighting and the direction in which the carpet is laid determines the brightness of the carpet's color.

My new construction home in MA is almost finished and I'm planning on adding a basic rec. room in the basement that will have a ping-pong table and exercise equipment. Are these tiles a good option for putting directly over the basement concrete floor or would vinyl planks be a better choice? I love the price point and ease of installation of this product and I think the carpet tiles look pretty good, too.

As long as your subfloor is level, clean, and has no major issues you should be fine to install these over as you please.

Are these safe to use as an area rug over hardwood floors? Will the hardwood show damage after they are removed?

Since these are peel and stick, a residue may remain on the floor if removed. Instead of adhering directly to the wood floor, you could use carpet tabs to 'float' the tiles as an area rug.

Ron
Typically these tiles are installed directly to the subfloor without any padding.

Can I install a moisture barrier underneath the carpet tiles, i.e. vapor barrier? Will that cause any issues with the tiles adhering? I sometimes have moisture coming up from the concrete slab in the basement and want to be sure no mold and mildew will grow underneath.
chris
You should be fine to adhere these tiles directly to a moisture barrier.

Most of your answers suggest that these tiles should be applied directly to a sub-floor. However, would it work just as well to apply these over the 2mm foam underlay? I'd like to have some additional insulation over the cement floor.

These tiles can be installed over virtually any subfloor that is clean and level. That should work fine.

How difficult is it to remove these from a concrete floor? I rent a house and was thinking about them for part of the basement, but when I move out I would probably have to uninstall them. I wouldn't mind unless it would be long/tough process.
