What do you mean by "it doesn't leave the pigments alone"? Maybe the 
problem is just that you are using averaging...if the color values vary 
evenly from 0 to 1 for each component, and you average enough samples, 
you will end up getting closer to 50% gray.

Layered textures would probably work...

object {
    texture {pigment {basepig}}
    texture {pigment {man1}}
    texture {pigment {man2}}
    texture {pigment {man3}}
}

Just make sure the mandel pigments are at least partially transparent.
