I'm usually not one to argue but 'ambient' is a rather different can of worms.

Amibent light is that generalized lighting not attributable to the direct rays from a specific light source. In the physical world, ambient light is attributable to the reflection of light off of surfaces in the environment. Without ambient light, objects in shadow would be completely black.

Hang on. I'll delete the thread. Wouldn't want to misinform anyone!
