Xandi, for color setup it's better to use either RGB or HSV instead of CYMK. The latter is best suited for print than display. A specular color that has 50% brightness reflects 50% of the light that it receives, which is a lot. You can keep your saturation unaltered but bring down the brightness and you'll get better, cleaner results.

Cheers.
