I thought this, until I visited. It looks really good when they mix the colours up, giving it a nice sense of depth. A shame that it replaces the glorious inverted sunset lighting.I'm not a fan of the "Ooo, look, overly-bright pretty lights!! Diznee iz the bestest!!!!" crap on SSE. Once again, subtlety is almost entirely thrown out the window in an attempt to wow the lowest common denominator. Use the pucks to enhance, not overpower and in many instances replace, the exterior lighting on SSE.
However...
I read that when they were developing the park in the early 80s, Spaceship Earth had a solid colour lighting package. It made the icon look flat and ugly, which is when they decided to go with the sunset to make it pop. Sure enough, one of the options for the new points of light is a solid colour (typically white), and sure enough, it looks flat and ugly. It seems like they are repeating several mistakes from the past, but doing nothing to fix it.
