I just tried the same with a few colored pencils and a red peace of cloth
and saw quite a lot of bleeding. Sadly i have no digital camera here to
show it :-) It's cloudy today and the pencils have a fairly shiny surface,
but i really think it is quite realistic.

Dim the light, or better just use the daylight. On the side where the
light comes from the paper has a red tint.
I could make some foto's if you want to be convinced.

I don't think the problem was due to the background{} ...
If you turn off the normals in radiosity, you will get a similar (or
the same) result ...
the "ambient-normals" of the sphere just scramble the reflections, so
you can't recognize them ...

This was rendered with normal on.

Nice pic. I especially like the effect of radiosity here. But can you
post the scene file?

It's because the sky is simulated. The light that illuminates sky comes from
the sun. So the blue intensity in the sky should never be higher than the
blue intensity of the sun e.g. sun: rgb ( 1.0, 0.9, 0.5 ) might have a sky
of rgb ( 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 ) and not rgb ( 0.1, 0.3, 1.0 ). (I don't know what
the settings are in the pic)
I think absorbing media and scattering media might make a more 'real' sky.
BTW, has anyone tried making sky with media before?

It has been done by several people. I've had fairly good results
producing a sunset by using scattering media in several "shells" and a
large sphere for the land. However, MegaPOV's sampling method 2 or 3 is
almost absolutely necessary for this.
