Setting the color you want in the Diffuse channel is fine if you want a shiny colored dialectric (non-metal) material.

If you want it to look metallic, don't use diffuse at all. Set Diffuse_Value = 0 and put the color you want in the Reflection_Color.

And, again, for serious realism you want to take the Fresnel effect into account. Like this.

 

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
