Yeah, it is simply because the spheres are very reflective and the light
source is very intensive. So the red components remains strong even
after many bounces. It takes many reflections to get the value go down.
I tested with dimmer lights and a bit less reflective surface and it
works as it should: it gets darker every time it reflects.
