'phong' hilights have color based upon lights, whereas 'specular' is white 
regardless of colors used in lights.
Though they say specular is more "realistic" you wouldn't think so would you? 
Since any hilight ought to show a light sources color;
perhaps the pigment and light colors don't blend realisticly, but I don't have 
proof of this.
