That Color-Changing Building Off the 5

So when you're driving up the 5 right by the Disney/Harbor/Katella exits, there's this like iridescent building off to the side of the freeway that's covered with a bunch of tiles that change color as you drive by it. So that's one of the cool lighting things about this building. As you drive up to it, the tiles reflect green, but as you pass it, the tiles go blue.

Anyhow, while that's really interesting and all, my favorite part about this building is actually the other side of it, which is painted this super bright hue of yellow. Apparently, the story is that the building, located behind Toontown if you're looking at the Disneyland Resort map, was painted yellow as a design choice to help

enhance the atmosphere within Toowntown itself. They say that the sun hits the building, and that yellow hue is reflected off the building into Toontown, which is supposed to make all the colors of the cartoon buildings appear even more cartoonish and vibrant.

Now if that's real, that's like one of the coolest things i've ever heard and Disney Imagineers are completely brilliant. And if it isn't real, well then it's nice to pretend it is.
