How many cities have truly "colorful" architecture though? At least speaking of metropolitan skyscrapers. Really, I think color isn't the issue here so much as the styling of the buildings. If there were a bit more diversity in the geometry of the skyline it could look pretty sweet, but the architectural style there has its own history which the article mentions.

I would tend to agree that most skylines in major cities don't have much color, but rather it is the texture and the shapes of the skyline that give it its appeal. I can't think of a colorful skyline in a major city. Can you?
