Check your imported objects. It looks like they have a white pigment or 
a texture with a white pigment included.

Another possibility can be that the included texture use a 0 to 255 
range. If that's the case, any non-saturated pigment will appreas as 
white as it gets clipped.
Try showing those objects in a weakly reflective surface. Use something 
like finish{reflection 0.01}}
In this case, edit the generated SDL to divide all pigments by 255.
pigment{rgb<rrr, ggg, bbb>/255
