@ssween: No If you set diffuse to white, it will wash out the reflection. You can use this to degredate the mirror effect (try setting the diffuse to mid-grey, then plugging a noise/granite node into the diffuse value:-)). But be prepared to wait for a considerable time for the render....

For full mirror effects, almost everything other than the reflection node must be zero (black).

Edited to add - at least I THINK that's true. I just realised I've never tried it. Something for me to play with next time..
