  Well, the attached is a straight swap colour-wise. As I suspected, the 
blue still looks good, with the surface underneath reflecting its 
surroundings as it should. But, the green on the other egg is now darker, 
and still doesn't look good.

    Heh, faces in 3d artwork is a cool thing to get into. I've seen many 
faces myself.   :)

I think the enamel is absolutely convincing and the eggs are just great -


What bothers me is the visibility of the HDRI map in the camera view,
for me this completely destroys the illusion and that kitchen probe
is much overused anyway. How about e.g. the "Mausoleum Foyer"
probe from http://www.unparent.com/photos_probes.html

You are right...! We are being watched indeed. Reflection in the table 
surface...  Is that you, Steve?   :-)

How about reducing the diffuse value of gold? Looks too dull/whiteish to me.
