i worked for the cn tower when i first moved to toronto. we had to learn facts about the various buildings downtown so we could tell stories to the tourists. i'm not sure how well-known it is, but the gold colour of the royal bank building is actually gold. there are gold filaments in the windows.

RBC just renovated their lobby and part of its facade. There was a joke going around. They were trying to recover the gold in the windows!

My apologies Sonny! Yes, it is the Royal Bank Plaza! Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is housed in the RBP. And true, there are two towers, but the other one is much smaller. The reflection is from the south tower, which is the taller of the two. www.glasssteelandstone.com/CA/ON/TorontoRoyalBankPlaza.html
