>>5952858The strength of the light is irrelevant, what matters is the properties of the material that is shines on.
Think of a matte red ball. Even if you shine a very bright light on it, you might at best get a very faint highlight.
However on a shiny red ball- think of a metallic material- a strong light source will be fully reflected on one point of its surface, as a highlight of white or mostly white light.
So, if you put an extremely reflective red ball inside another ball of green gelatin, and shine a light on it, there might be lighter points where the ball's reflectivity will have reflected pure white light- but since some of the light's energy will be absorbed and its color changed by passing through the green gelatin, the highlights will still be green and they will be darker as well. I don't think that you will ever get white light reflected from the red ball in the interior, however.
