 There were originally large windows at either end of the court , then known as the Winter Garden , and were replaced with twenty panels of mirrors after 1972 . The fountain of the court , known as " La Source " , is made of <unk> marble and is extravagantly sculpted . A nymph , gold in colour , is featured in a lair . A wrought @-@ iron and glass roof of the Palm Court contains two gilded wrought @-@ iron lanterns , and the ceiling contains lion skin motifs . The room is done in soft apricot and has remained so since 1906 . César Ritz chose the colour to flatter the complexions of women after weeks of experimentation with various hues .
