Gold. The most common color of Orthodox domes represents eternity and heavenly glory. Temples with golden domes were dedicated to Christ and the great church holidays - Christmas, Meeting, Annunciation. Such chapters crown the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin cathedrals - the Assumption, Annunciation, Arkhangelsk.
Currently, domes are not clad with gold, but earlier the metal was dissolved in mercury, and then the resulting amalgam was applied to a hot copper sheet. The gilding process was very expensive and labor intensive.

At the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha, the Tropical Display Dome is a large lattice structure (geodesic) displaying plants from the tropics.
A pathway winds upwards through the dome building, wrapping around a central pond with water plants. This path leads visitors past a range of shrubs, climbers, epiphytes and small trees.
The dome provides a climate close to the natural growing conditions for plants that wouldn't normally grow in Brisbane.
