When the Pope died, the cross atop Mont-Royal was lit with purple lights. I’m not sure, but I think it will stay that way until a new Pope is elected. The Montreal Metroblogging page has an even better photo from a closer vantage point.

Hello,
The cross on Mont Royal looks red to me now. Did they change the color to red from blue a few days ago?
I understand, the city of Montreal spent $300,000 on this laser system back in 1992 for the day the pope dies. Why? Why blue? Why red? What is next green?

Hi Tom,
Note that that isn’t my photo – I blogged it from Flickr. You can find that person by clicking on the photo itself.
Paul, I’m not sure about the colour changes now. I have only seen it in purple, but I know it looked slightly different with some clouds obscuring the view from here.
