More like, green-ish.

From yesterday:

I would call the glass teal. It's a blue-green. It's actually pretty close to a color used in some of the renders, especially the night pics, if I remember correctly. Looking at it next to 500 w 2nd which is almost a royal blue, you get quite a lot of contrast and the greenish hue pops.

I would actually say the closest color we have downtown is the glass on the new UT building. I've always seen it as a blue-green, and even just green in darker lighting. Third and shoal seems to be a few shades lighter than that.

The fact that it will stand out in color from all of the true-blue buildings in the vicinity makes me happy. That's enough for me.

It's definitely green-ish, look at the clouds in the reflection. I think it's pretty close to the renderings too.

From the webcam - they started adding the cladding/screening on the parking garage levels:

Both of these will end up being the size of the Google tower, right?

You could almost hop from roof top to roof top to roof top.

As someone who lives in 360 and will be a little above this building, it's a bit boring and doesn't conform to the Shoal Creek overlay, so it will block out the sun for our pool for a few hours in the morning, which is pretty lame. I think it's a bit of a pedestrian building compared to Austin Proper, which at least has an interesting facade. Oh well, you can't win them all and at least it isn't tall enough to block my view.

Yeah I have to say this one and the "google tower" next door are totally yawn inducing.
