I believe that's what Tek meant by "and the pigment colour if it's 
metallic". That's what it's supposed to do, and from looking at the 
source code that's exactly what it does. More specifically, the specular 
contribution of each layer uses the pigment of the same layer (the 
variable Layer_Pigment_Colour in the source code). I'm not sure why 
Matti thought it used diffuse...

Pigment colour is diffuse reflectance in POV-Ray. Highlights colour should
be taken from specular reflectance which is reflection colour in POV-Ray.
