The colored bits don't really do much to lighten up the overwhelming darkness and bulk of this building. It really does look more suited to be an office tower, especially since it looks like IBM Plaza in Chicago. But I guess you can only criticize a building for historicism and pastiche if it's in a pre-modern style.
