The building of A5 night club in Karlsdorf, Germany and the building of A65 night club in Kandel, Germany are illuminated when open by a lamp changing its colour.

^They light the bracing up and it has a sequence where some sections disappear. Pretty amazing.

The Reynolds American Building in Winstson-Salem has different lighting schemes too:

I was driving into downtown Dallas the other day around 4:00 in the morning and coming into the Woodall Rodgers canyon from the North, I caught a glimpse of something that at first freaked me out. That something was the side of 17Seventeen McKinney, a new residential building Uptown (that I don't think has opened yet, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that has some kind of color changing wall...

I know from two nightclubs in Germany, one situated at Kandel, Rhineland-alatina and the other at Karlsdorf, Baden-Württemberg whose facade is illuminated at night when opened in changing colors.

Not a building but here's a skybridge in Davenport, Iowa.

May cause seizures.

This horrible video (apparently a mass-media project) shows how the lightshow looks with really bad lip-syncers inside. Go to 3:28 so you don't have to watch this whole thing.
Colors change with the seasons.

These are really some amazing buildings. I like such light and color shows. The always look so impressive. I have already been to Munich and there I saw the football stadium and I can tell you it really really looks impressive at night. I like the blue color very much.

Pretty much forever. One of the negative parts of the skyline boom, is that the Centrust has lost much of it's prominence in the skyline.

Here's a couple of videos showing off the lighting schemes of the Duke Energy Building in Charlotte.

Kind of trippy. In both of these videos they are testing the lighting schemes. The day to day is a bit more subtle.
