JavaFX PhongMaterial

JavaFX PhongMaterial is the JavaFX material class for local lighting based on the Phong reflection model. It combines diffuse and specular components, colors and texture maps to determine a rendered surface's appearance. When a diffuse color and diffuse map are both supplied, their components multiply rather than one simply replacing the other.^[ref]

For example, a green diffuse color tints an image texture green, while changing specular power changes highlight concentration. A high value produces a narrower highlight; it does not turn the object into a mirror of the surrounding scene. The official class documentation explicitly excludes environment-mirror behavior and refraction effects for this material. Consequently a glossy-looking object is an approximation supplied by a lighting model, not a simulation of every optical interaction.
