Just a basic question which I cant seen to find the answer to im not applying this to anything yet just curious, but when is it appropriate to use a coloured specular map as apose to a standard black white and grey one?

And would it be apropriate in some form of fake reflection?

For real-world materials, the specular will be white most of the time. The exception is metallic materials, where the specular can be colored.

That doesn’t mean you can’t do it though. Colored speculars can be used for any artistic look you wish.
