The walls are white with the spirals in a bluish metal. It is the metal that
is reflecting the far walls and creating the effect.  The "transparent or
reflecting?" was just sort of a happy accident that I liked.

BTW, there are no lights used in the rendering of this image.  It was done
entirely through radiosity.  The white sections on the walls were given a
high ambient value to generate the light.
