This is pretty involved: Bryce uses a fairly sophisticated environmental model. If you think about it, if your sun is red and everything is reflecting lots of red and orange light, then the only light available is red - so pretty much everything looks red and orange. That's how the real world works, too. So, you have two options: 1 - change your Sun and Ambient colors to something non-red. This will probably lose the fun red color for the landscape that you liked. 2 - use a light to shine on the angel. You could shine a bluish-white light on her to give her a different coloring. It will take some playing to get it exactly how you like it. I would create a new spotlight, and point it at her. Make sure to make it large enough, with enough brightness (intensity) to do the job. As for the glow: for the angel you could put a sphere around her, set to a material which is fuzzy, mostly transparent, and has high Ambient values. There's no way to truly do a "glowing" object in Bryce - you have to fake it by putting additional objects around that are fuzzy and transparent. Use that as a jumping-off point, and play with it from there. You could post your image in this thread too, so we can see how it turns out and offer more suggestions.
