What Alain said, but also adding finish{ambient clock} or finish{ambient 1}
in a texture statement helps, or you'll be fading to whatever amount of
light you've got available.  Try different settings with this and +k.5 for
example :
Charles C

#include "colors.inc"
#include "skies.inc"

camera {location <0,.1,-4> direction 1.5 * z look_at <0,0,0>}
light_source{<-30,30,-30> color rgb 1 }

#declare FadeToWhiteTexture =
        texture{
                pigment { rgbt <1,1,1,1-clock> }
                finish { ambient clock }
        }

sphere{ <0,0,0> 1 texture{FadeToWhiteTexture} scale 5000  }

sky_sphere{ pigment{P_Cloud4} scale 2 }

sphere{0, 1 finish{reflection 1}  }
