celebrating super bowl week in color

Both teams participating in Super Bowl are now in Dallas, TX.  Meanwhile, back in Madison, WI, the state's Capitol dome is being illuminated green and gold for the Green Bay Packers this week.
Normally the Capitol dome is white, but has been particular colors to raise awareness to certain events, like red for National Heart Month, among other causes.

One of the best known colors in support for sports teams is the Empire State Building in New York City.  There is an interesting webpage called http://whatcoloristheempirestatebuilding.com/ that shows a picture of what the Empire State Building will look like every night of the year.

In looking at the date of February 6, the Empire State Building will also be commemorating the Super Bowl participants by having split colors for each the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers.

  1. That actually looks pretty cool--kind of looks "spring-like," which is exactly what we need in the middle of all of these piles of snow!
