Red, definitely. I like orange too but it's really all just about the copper wings, and even they are a bit much for this location. Red builds a neighbourhood and contributes to its site as a whole while orange builds a monument/icon, which I don't know is needed when there is already one of the city's top icons across the street.
I also like how the steel girder system of the interior echos the timber one of the exterior, and how the wooden forms echo natural elements of other prominent civic buildings in Toronto like the AGO and FSC. I have a slight concern about the height but it does seem to be mitigated by the extensive use of glass... and I'd also like to see it treat St. Lawrence Hall to North as reverently as the historic market hall to the south.
