Basic OpenGL Lighting.
Many people starting out with OpenGL are confused by the way that OpenGL's built-in lighting works - and consequently how colour functions. -

OpenGL lighting hints for new programmers
Lighting in OpenGL is hard because you have to get light sources, materials, and surface normals all correct. If any one of them is wrong, it doesn't work at all. -
