I'm with Chris on this.
I like the color change on the "arch"/crown. It'll at least relieve the perceived monotony of the west-facing profile; and that will be the (maybe) make-or-break feature AFAIC.
The subtle texturing of the outer core skin somehow helps in mking it look like something more than an aluminum-clad monolith.
As I write this, I'm stricken by a conflict that the architecture of this tower is trying with a certain amount of success to deal with: It wants to stand out on it's own...sort of like 432 Park with a "hypermodernist" twist; but at the same time, it seeks to be respectful of its culturally iconic neighbor.
A genuine skyline render from all sides will help me figure out if I'm ultimately on point with these observations.
