One World Trade Center appeared to be lit up in the wrong colors as monuments across the world glow in Belgium's red, black and yellow on Tuesday night.

The skyscraper's spire was illuminated in blue, white and red as night fell on the city.

New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that One World Trade would be adorned in Belgian flag colors Tuesday night, in a show of support for Belgium.

The spire was supposed to be one of many shows of solidarity with Belgium as the country reels from a devastating terrorist attack Tuesday night

'Tonight, One World Trade Center will be displayed in black, yellow and red as we stand in solemn solidarity with the people of Belgium, just as they have done for us in the past,' Cuomo said in a statement.

'We join the world in mourning the victims of these attacks and remain committed to helping create a more just and peaceful world.'

As pictures of the spire were posted on Twitter, it appeared the building had been lit in the wrong colors.

Other monuments across the globe did not have the same issue as One World Trade.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and the Trevi fountain in Rome were among those illuminated, just hours after explosions tore through Brussels Airport and a Metro station in the city center.

The New York City's Empire State Building seemed to have shut the light on its spire completely.

Representatives of One World Trade were not immediately able to comment on the colors.
