In this particular 3D piece, I just pointed a blue spot light with the angular falloff set to 100% towards the snow globe. So, every place that the warm light doesn't shine is tinted blue; yet it turns darker the further away from the focus point it gets.

Sorry, I must be extra dumb today, because I don't think I am getting this right. I tried it and I still get black shadows. And I get blue highlights from the spot. I can get rid of them by excluding an object from the spot's influence, but the black shadows are still there... Am I pointing the spot from a wrong angle?

Image attached shows the version with the sphere excluded from the blue light.

:blushing: Sorry, I am extra dumb today!:blushing: Time to go get coffee or something.:blushing: Forgot to say thank you for the tip! :) Hope I can get it right...
