Right on both ends. Certainly not orange or burnt orange, and the material used to make planters would eventually crack like most of mine have. I do like their color choice for sure. It also looks like the garage section is open slotted and so they won't need mechanical ventilation, or very little if that. But this shows you can open vent without compromising aesthetics too much. There still seems to be mixed opinions about the design, but there is one certainty, it looks like they are putting a lot of quality into it. I used to be glad that it really won't be visible from most of my favorite vantage points, you probably have to turn the corner to get a good look at it, but now I kind of wish it was in a more prominent location where you can see it from all angles from a short distance. It should have a different look from all sides. I'm thinking the lights in the stairwells are just a reflection of the outside, with the sunset reflecting the upper part. I'm expecting more of a whitish lighting of them because they have to be well lit in the event that they need to be used during an evacuation, but I hope I am wrong.
