It looks like rubber because it is doing a soft (blurred) specular reflection of the white sky and the white floor. Without that reflection, it would just be mostly black and would not look real. None of the specular nodes do that - they don't look at props, only lights.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
