diffuse color of chrome

Olli.

ive always wondered.. whats should the diffuse color of chrome be?
since chrome pretty much inherits its color from its surroundings/env map, what should its diffuse color be?

Pedro Amorim

Since chrome is a highly reflective surface its difuse should be very dark. Almost black even. But ofcourse to get the correct effect going you need to have some sort of environment map to have reflection up in there.
