The tree had an overall paattern of green light, a color selected because it is a traditional symbol of "Hope". Decorations consisted of sways of white and gold garland, and 57 shield shape ornaments representing the states, territories and the District of Columbia.

The cycling system provided lighting schemes of a white and green tree, changing to a gold and green tree, then back again, completing the cycle once each minute.

The top ornament was about 3 feet tall and consisted of two elngated, interesting diamond shapes. Its colors cycled white and gold in concert with the tree.
