Are you using metallic reflection? If not, try turning it on by putting 
"metallic" in the reflection{} block.
It looks like you are, though...the scene looks right to me.
Photons that reflect more than once are goint to get darker and closer 
to red, I think the only way to get what you want is to make the surface 
yellower. Or maybe you could try giving reflection a color...you might 
need to turn metallic reflection off then. As I said though, the scene 
looks right to me as it is...
