Of all the colors Piano chose for Central Saint Giles, the green is the most electric. It reads from distance before the building does — a lime so saturated it seems to generate its own light, a color that belongs more to a signal than to a surface. Set against the deep blue of the window glass, the combination doesn't negotiate: the two colors push against each other with equal force, floor after floor, neither giving way. The shadows cast by the vertical fins add a layer of complexity to what might otherwise be pure flat color — a grid of lime and shadow pressed against a grid of deep blue. The building's most vivid face, at its most concentrated.
