Ambiance Vs Diffuse

[Master chief]

OK working through my material making iv come across 2 different color setting on called diffuse and one called ambiance , whats the difference and what are they best for ?

[robcat2075]

if you look up either of those or "surface Properties" in the help index it tells you all about them.

[Fuchur]

Ambiance is meant for none-shaded (or less shaded) colors while diffuse-color is meant for shaded once...

In some cases a combination of both can be helpful.
