You can do this with either a grey specular or maybe even a specular that's a more neutral saturation of the inverse colour of your diffuse (or maybe even slightly blue? who knows!). Then as shown above those are fairly glossy - the… -

Ark, I dunno, I think what you're referring to there is actually better handled by an environment cube map with a fresnel masking term - so that it reflects more when the surface is perpendicular to the view. That would give you the effect seen on the base there. I would say an asset which is all one type of plastic does… -

So im going to contradict myself and agree for that particular object, you could get away with just a uniform value across the surface, but still think a gloss map would help. As specular is basically a cheap form of…
