You're right. Its called argon gas, which is basically the same thing as neon. The argon gas gives off the emerald green color. Neon is a generic term used for border lighting. Even florescent tubes & LED's when spaced close together can give off a neon like appearance.

Not really.

The NYE ball is made out of pure crystal with thousands of LED's which light it up from the inside.

oh yeah, I have seen that building at night a couple of times, I have never seen it in the day though. It does look weird in the daylight picture, but it did look cool when I saw it at night.

Even that building looks better than the horrific Barnett Plaza in downtown Fort Worth.

Has anyone notice all the epic fails Houston has been building up lately???

Embassy Suites, Memorial Hermann, and a few others.

The biggest disappointment was Embassy Suites; I will never forgive them for that.

I like the Reunion Tower at night, but during the day it reminds me of some kind of over sized water tower.

These are not boxes! A box is shaped like a square not a rectangle. Also a box do not have set backs or titled angles. Lincoln Plaza isn't a box at all!
