The row on the front/right are gold, chrome, and electric contacts (from
front left to back right).  In the back/left, I put yellow, white, and light
gray for comparison.

Let me know what you think.

Hmm.  The gold looks the best, I think it's at least partly because we
can establish a color value for gold that is distinct from the standard
yellow.  The electric contact is second-best, IMO.  I just couldn't see
enough difference between the chrome and white.

Could you try rendering a dark gray with the 'specular enhancements'?
Try using RGB 635F52.

Of course (did I mention this before?) once we get better rendering of
'metallic' elements, we'll have to revisit the color codes, and split
out 'plated chrome' from 'printed silver' from 'embedded silver' ...
