Is it possible to cold read EVERYONE?

Then try the enviorement they're in. The people they hang out with, drinks they drink, look in their eyes, body language or the music they act to

You have the ammo, you just don't know how to use it.

Basic means something. It could mean that they are shy and do not want to stick out. It could mean they are mature. You have to take what they give you and see if it matches the norm. After that you can come up with something.

Think of it this way when you cold read. Age, gender, clothes, place, friends, and anything else that you can find. After that test your theory.

How do you practice cold reading when so many people look ordinary?

Two things.

Cold reading is kind of crap. You're guessing about someone. Taking a stab in the dark. If you're lucky, it's a novelty. If you're not, then you've driven home how little you're paying attention, that you can't come up with something more observant to say.
Saying you have nothing to say because everyone looks boring, is a mindset issue. There are always things happening. Things people are saying or doing. Things they're wearing. Current events (within reason). The weather (especially if it's been extreme). You have plenty of material going on constantly....

I can see that you have a tendency to be critical of yourself. I bet you pride yourself as an independent thinker and don't readily accept other people's suggestions without satisfactory proof. That's cool. So, I'm sure you have come across this already and that this is not news to you. Take a look at scripts mentioned here Skeptics Dictionary: Cold Reading.

Don't go overboard. Even if you just throw in a few of these vague suggestions from Bertram R. Forer into a conversation you'll immediately spark interest.

For building rapport with someone just a vague hint that you understand them works wonders. If they don't know about the Barnum Effect and you go overboard people can get freaked out.

Read from body language, facial expression.

I don't usually use cold reading off the bat, I use it after sometime into interation so i have enough data to make an educated guess. Sometimes I made a total bad guess, they'll argue/defend themselves from my misguess, then i get to find out more about them, so it's a positive spin either i made a good read or bad read.

It's like asking how you do backtesting to predict the market. It's a trillion-dollar question.
