1. A chromatic lighting display comprising at least one of a plurality of housings, said at least one housing having an exterior portion and an interior portion, at least one opening, said at least one opening communicating between said exterior portion and said interior portion of said at least one housing, means to detect the primary colors of ambient light present at said exterior portion of said at least one housing, means to detent the intensity of each of said primary colors present at said exterior portion of said at least one housing, at least three photocells, each of said at least three photocells producing output signals, said at least three photocells being secured to said interior portion of said at least one housing and exposed to said ambient light light entering said at least one housing through said at least one opening, at least three differently colored filters, said at least three colored filters being positioned to filter said ambient light passing through said at least one opening and through each of said at least three colored filters and impinging upon each of said at least three photocells, at least three amplifiers, each of said at least three photocells having output terminals, each of said at least three amplifiers having input terminals, each of said amplifier input terminals connected independently to each of said photocell output terminals, a comparator, said comparator having output terminals, means whereby said comparator produces output signals at said comparator output terminals, each of said at least three amplifiers having output terminals, means whereby each of said at least three amplifiers amplifies each of said at least three photocell output signals, means whereby said output terminals of each of said at least three amplifiers are coupled to said comparator, an algorithm of programmed preselected adjustable time intervals and programmed preselected adjustable color patterns of programmed varying color intensities and programmed varying durations being programmed into said comparator, at least one lighting display, said at least one lighting display having means to produce light signals, means whereby said comparator output terminals are coupled to said at least one lighting display whereby said light signals produced by said at least one lighting display will be energized and controlled by said output signals produced by said comparator output terminals for said preselected adjustable time intervals and said preselected adjustable color patterns of said varying color intensities and said varying durations responsive to said algorithm by said output signals produced by said comparator output terminals and responsive to the output signals produced by said at least three amplifiers.
