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.
