blue curacao - cream liqueur (any you like) - goldstrike (although I am not 
sure about the gold strike, it contains 50% alcohol making it light but it 
also contains a lot sugar making it heavy)

The brown colour of oak aged (and caramel coloured) liquors might be 
associated with the appearance of copper. Adding bitters (brown or sometimes 
reddish brown from bark) might increase this. Infusion with cinnamon could 
give the brown colour a more reddish taint. All of this is very strong and 
should float. You might also use the goldstrike again (for better metalic 
appearance) and add a few drops Angostura to turn it brown.

BTW In my opinion layered drinks are not that great. You could better work 
with those colours by making multiple drinks with different colours. 
Or another example. Make a cream drink and garnish it with small gold flakes 
and a few drops of curacao or food colouring (which blue curacao basically 
is). You could make a coloured pattern in a similar way as is done with 
Guinness beer or cappuccino.
