I don't know if it will give you the effect you want, but you can probably improve that particular part by bumping up the ambient lighting term (assuming POV has an ambient term). You may have to also decrease the brightness of your lights if you do (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case.
