Keep in mind that 'diffuse' in the finish (default being 0.6) controls the
contribution of
pigment color on the objects surface to the reflection color in a way that makes
the rgb pigment influence that reflection.
A White object with reflection 1 will not show anything but white if diffuse is also
1.
So it's a good idea to lower diffuse when wanting perfect mirrors regardless of the
color.
