> You have the camera in a julia_fractal
Already wrong! Man this is harder for you guys than I thought...
Look real closely at the curvature...

the left side of the image is the actual torus,
the right side is the reflection of the left, but farther along the radius.
I think that the blue tones are coming from the opposite side of the torus.
The light source is on the opposite side of the torus also, because theres
a shadow in view in the reflection on the bottom right side of the screen.

Ok, is it inside a blob? the default blob? and a mirrored plane?

Nope. What's a default blob?

It looks like you may have figured it out. I must ask how you made it to
be sure though...

Right so far :-)

Not quite opposite but close...

Ah, now you're all wrong again! ;-)

A sphere ?

Well, I just read your message to non### [at] none com, so I know mine is not exact
duplicate of yours -- I *did* put the lights on the opposite sides of the
torus.
What I couldn't get were the colors you got -- I got close by killing all
diffuse light on the torus, but I couldn't get the true colors... all the
lights blended way too much and got muddy.
But I had a goodly bit of fun trying -- I'm a big fan of abstract work and
reflections and I had never played around inside a torus... lots of
interesting images in that there torus. ;)

Here ya go:
#include "colors.inc"
global_settings { max_trace_level 50 }
torus { 5,1 hollow pigment { color White } finish { ambient 0 diffuse .1
reflection .9 } }
camera { location <0,0,-5> look_at <1,0,-5> }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Red }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Green rotate 120*y }
light_source { <0,0,-5> Blue rotate 240*y }
Surprisingly much simpler than many people thought. No objects except the torus,
all done with diffuse lighting.
I've played around with other shapes, but they all pale considerably in
comparison with this scene. I guess "keep it simple" really does work.
