bevans: increasing ambient in a scene with no lights is analogous to increasing light brightness. If it's a "no lights" scene, obviously tweaking the lights isn't an option. :)

Even if there are lights in your scene, if you're using objects as light sources, upping their ambient value would also be analogous.

So it really depends on the scene setup.
