Object always white.

Hi,

I'm using this to set my material's colors:

glMaterialiv (GL_FRONT, GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE,
		color);
glMaterialiv (GL_FRONT, GL_SPECULAR, spec);
glMaterialiv (GL_FRONT, GL_EMISSION, emiss);
glMaterialf (GL_FRONT, GL_****NINESS, ****ny);

However I am finding that my object is always white.
And glColor3iv always set the object to black.

I am also doing this:
glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL);

Anybody know what could be causing the
white/black object problem?

Thanks.
