Why call them "dippy" if you're not against them? Why state the obvious by saying they they're not "neutrals"? Better yet, why are you implying that neutral is always better? Those "dippy" colours are the only stand-out feature of this building, and I think they look great.

Agreed. The colour is a bit garish but it's surrounded by an awful lot of boring, dull glass and I welcome something that isn't blue-green or blue-gray. There might be better colours for here but for now this'll do fine.

They are dippy. If you like 'em, there's nothing wrong with that. But let's not pretend that these colour combos look elegant and refined. The colours are garish and provoking, and the building will live or die on whether the provoke they bring is your cup of tea.

As for my statement about "neutrals" - neutral refers to a batch of colours, but it also refers to the property of not causing a stir: in other words, people won't feel neutral about these non-neutrals.

I'm so beyond caring about this 'Slice of Mississauga' neighbourhood. As if glass colour on the latest investorbox is going to save this disaster of a missed opportunity.

Haha, go troll another thread.

As far as colours on condos go, green is a pretty tame choice. There isn't much of a difference between this and the early 2000s era green glassed condos in the area.

The problem is not the colour; rather the shade of colour. Wrong green and wrong blue!

The correct green and blue.

 

[hawc]

I think it's going to change colour as it rises all the way up.

Went for a walk today. Cityplace was lively and I actually really enjoyed walking through there!

Edit: Anyone know how to rotate an image on here?

 

[Lansdude]

Man i just turned my monitor sideways 90 degrees. Technology makes ppl so lazy.

 

[Lenser]

Only on UT could we be talking about "correct" hues.

 

[Gphorce]

The colours look pretty good I thought. It's a nice contrast right beside Block 32.

Today:

 

[Towered]

I'd argue that this is the only bright spot in a sea of dull middle grey. It provides relief by breaking up the incredible monotony of the earlier buildings.

Soon there will be road here running right through, but until then they will used the road for construction supplies.

Soon there will be a nice green park here.

To those that don't like the colour, hue, shade, tint, etc...we get it haha. You don't like it. I do
