This is more or less realistic. If you have a room with a ceiling light,
try it; the ceiling should be noticibly darker than the walls near the
corners. To get "proper" illumination on the ceiling, use a recursion
limit of 2 or 3 in your radiosity (more than that gives very little benefit).

If you're still not happy with the results, consider playing with your
textures a bit, or using Photoshop (or something similar) to tweak the histo.
