And the whole thing is a little odd/funny. Whenever I see construction updates of other cities outside of lower mainland I don't see the prevalence of this type of spandrel that I see here.
The point was the high iron content glass was the cheapest option instead of low iron content to achieve the brilliant white. The colour white for spandrel colour is just basic and assumed that most people would be ok with it.

Cheap glass + basic white = most common type of spandrel panel, seafoam.
