[Bf-committers] Regarding: Cycles support for specular color in solid shading mode

[Mikhail Rachinskiy]

Hi Antony,

please do not introduce new hidden factors to the materials (for the reason
you stated yourself  — “materials are not bright enough” and I love bright
colors), please just lower the default RGB values for Cycles it would be
more than enough.
