Cesar Pelli's design was, I'm sure, heavily influenced by the Toronto Dominion Centre. The dark colour also pays homage to Mr. Pelli, so we should leave it alone.

Some good info on it here : https://changingvancouver.wordpress....g/cesar-pelli/
I love the colour. It's dramatic and it anchors the financial district. Of course, I'd prefer that it were completely black, not brown.
