This building just opened a few months ago so there are kinks to be worked out - like the stain on the side that everyone loved to talk about so much.

External factors cannot be controlled easily by mere mortals.

Honestly I don't understand why they do not incorporate color changing lights. If it's going to cost them, they might as well do something better than just plain white.
They recently re-lit the former One American Center and it looks lovely. Finally one of our most iconic towers is back to it's former glory.
