As Ken pointed, you need a texture. I have done several animations of julias
in which the object swirls and morphs, and I think that what looks best as a
texture is something like:

texture
{ pigment { White }
  finish { diffuse 1 ambient 0 brilliance 2.25 specular 0.6 roughness 0.005
phong 0.3 phong_size 6.675 metallic 0.5 }
}

Light up the julia with several differently coloured light sources and it
looks really nice.
