Each night, the landmark will shine each of its four sides in different shades of the same colour.
New Yorkers and fans from around the world have the opportunity to vote for their favourite shade of colour via Empire State Building’s Facebook page. Voters have are also able to share their selection with family and friends via other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.
The final seven selected colours will be announced the week of 21 January 2013.
