Nah. It's a grayish, greenish, blueish kind of steel color.

Ouch, that hurts! :-) I have to work one the finish to include the
veining and the wear-&-tear of a million years old artefact.

In the movie, it look'd like a pool with a 500 watt spot in it... which
it most probably was. In the series the horizon is CGIed, and it looks
pretty much like that. Due to artistic licence, it is sometimes almost
transparent, sometimes it shines but is opaque, sometimes is reflects.
I hope this isn't going to degenerate to a trekky kind of argument
about the geometry of the warp bubble for speeds above warp 7.5 :-)
I should use media for atmosphere and have the rays of light shine
in the dust or something.

Best,
