  See what a mess you started here Kyle ?


  One other possibility that the folks in this crowd can grind donw the
merit of is using a reflection vector with every object in the scene.
If you use reflection <0.5,0.5,0.5> the color reflected off the object
will by a 50% gray and the rest will be filtered out. How well this
would work is untested and I don't know if you can stack reflection
vectors on top of each other. If you can it might be possible to make
a global reflection for the whole scene. Or - maybe not !
