After more fiddling, I've figured it out. When you have a
ShadingColorMaterial next to a WhiteShadingBitmapMaterial, and you
want them to shade "the same", you have to do some experiments, but
I've found that:
var material02:ShadingColorMaterial = new ShadingColorMaterial(hex
(65,68,195), {specular:0, shininess:0});
var material03:WhiteShadingBitmapMaterial = new
WhiteShadingBitmapMaterial((new RedFabric().bitmapData),
{diffuse_brightness:0.01, specular_brightness:0.01, shininess:2990});
Create two materials that lighten and darken about the same when you
turn them in front of a light. It's a little counterintuitive that I
need to set shininess so high on the WhiteShadingBitmapMaterial; and I
don't like the fact that I have to rotate the model a few times to set
the lighting to "settle".
