^^^ Regardless of the actual color of the material, the effect is cool. It's more interest to me that the metal seems to be reflecting and adapting the color of surrounding buildings.
This image answers my question, which was poorly worded. 110's core can just barely be seen on the right edge of this image. There are still quite a few floors to go before it clears Boeing. I'm taking a new skyline shot today, and I think from the angle it'll be completely hidden by Ogilvie's tower.

Kind of a generic construction question for the pros. For a building this size, or larger, would they be able to build up the core way far ahead of the steel floors? For instance Gr333n's core was way ahead of pace but a much shorter building and smaller floor plan. I just think it would be awesome to see a 50 floor core and have the steel catch up to it. I figured theres some ratio of space between core and floors while u/c.

It is possible. I remember there is something with iron workers and climb time if anything is over 100' from the top of the core to the last floor with a hoist (or ground floor).
^^^ Is that the first setback floor? This rendering shows something different happens on the setback levels, but can't tell what. They do look taller then normal floors, the iron work seems to follow that.
