6. Actually, when it came to primary colors...
...you have the fourth floor (meeting rooms), which is the all-red section. That's really impressive, but, as I said in the OP, very dimly lit. For the rest of the building, you have lots of florescent-yellow in the escalators that run through the center of each level, but most of the other colors are one shade or another of monochrome (black - gray - white). It's more that there are splashes of color in a utilitarian structure than a primary color scheme. I can't think of much green or blue in the library at all.

The third level is really odd. It's the "media floor" (where they keep the computer terminals) and, I guess in order to help people focus, the walls and ceiling are painted black. It's a strange effect, because the level is very high-ceilinged and cavernous, and very dark...except that, beyond the inner shell, you've got light streaming in from the all-glass outer shell. To my mind, it was the least-successful floor in the whole building, although it did have a series of large flat-panel screens playing an interesting animated display based on common search terms (these didn't photograph too well):
