The point is, if he can see the needle out his window right now, he can just look out the window to look at the building next door.

The space needle is over 500 feet tall. I'm assuming that the building they're talking about is the Chihuly exhibit which is about 40 feet tall according to their website [0]. There are plenty of vantage points around Seattle where you can see the space needle but not see what's next to it on the ground.

In which case the interviewee should say, "I can't see the short building next door, so I'm not sure what color it is." But the post said the interviewee just lied and said "white".

The music museum next door to the Space Needle is MoPOP (formerly known as the Experience Music Project):
That being said, it's definitely much shorter than the Space Needle.

Or use Google street view.
I went to the Space Needle three years ago and I wouldn't be able to answer that question. I wouldn't assume that someone who lives in Seattle goes through the Space Needle area on a daily basis; it's quite touristy.
This comes from someone who lives in touristy areas. Ask me what color a building is next to my statehouse (just walked by a few weeks ago,) or next to the famous place that Elvis was photographed by that I drive by almost every day, and I wouldn't be able to tell you.
