The Empire State Building tonight will light up (http://www.esbnyc.com/tourism/tourism_lightingschedule.cfm?CFID=20257926&CFTOKEN=70298073) in “psychedelic tie-dye colors” to mark the upcoming Museum exhibition “The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society (https://www.nyhistory.org/web/default.php?section=exhibits_collections&page=exhibit_detail&id=5798416).”

The N-YHS will not roll out the exhibit until March, but this week will hold a benefit cocktail party (https://www.nyhistory.org/web/default.php?section=support_nyhs&page=benefit_party) with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir to support the show.
The tie-dye color scheme:
North Side:
purple/orange/yellow from bottom to top
West Side:
green/purple/red from bottom to top
South Side:
yellow/red/blue from bottom to top
East Side:
orange/blue/green from bottom to top
“The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society,” feturing materials from the Grateful Dead Archive at UC Santa Cruz (http://www.ucsc.edu/news_events/text.asp?pid=3237), will be on display from March 5 through July 4.
The Empire State Building has split the colors (http://www.nbcnewyork.com/around-town/archive/Empire-State-Building-Shines-Both-RedGreen-BlueWhite.html) several times in the past, including for the 2008 Olympics, for elections and Christmas/Chanukah.
