While these images can do the job, I wouldn't call them 100% successful.  But that's the whole point of experimenting.

I've realized doing these, that if you want a clear image to use as a backdrop, or are using highly reflective materials, then it's best to use one of the high-res images available on the web.  But if your goal is to provide 'mood-lighting', then one of these types of simpler color 'splotch' images will do the trick nicely.  It all depends on what your goal is for your render.
