MOTHER TERESA It'll be Navy blue.

"The message here is that New Yorkers are inspired to do everything they can with the power and resources they have to spread the message of Mother Teresa," Quinn said.

"We're not going to let one individual's rejection of that stand in the way of the rest of the city embracing this message."

She said it is "disappointing that the most iconic building in the city won't be part of this."

The Post yesterday reported that the 14-story Hutchinson Metro Center in The Bronx also will light up blue and white on Aug. 26.

Malkin last week issued a statement attributing his decision to a policy of not lighting the building for religious or political events.

But lighting it Red/Green for Christmas and Green/White Orange for St. Patrick's day doesn't qualify as such?
