By doing it, you do the same way to recolour the pointlight, just you see this "A" , that's the alpha value.   
 
Another thing guys, did you know that you can set any value (R; G; B; A; ) to more than "1" ? Just write it in the box, you will always see 1 but the value has increased. You can't do it by clicking the arrows though. So adding 0. to each numbers that went further than 1 is useless (I wanted to make a very bright colour, which is 1.5, 2.5, 1.56 to test the engine capabilities. They all went to one and i make them to be 0.15, 0.25, and 0.156. It's too dark.)

It is NOT useless, it really depends. In Edge I need to make the normal map sometimes more shiny, so I write 4 in the alpha section. It shows "1" BUT the colour changes.

Have you been able to determine if that applies to colour values as well as the alpha values?

Yeah, it does
 
EDIT: In that post, I meant SPECULAR map, not NORMAL map.

				Because few people here are better than you and by that reason they can't give you much useful advice.

Anything I should add? It does not look like anything is missing just from looking at the picture.  
If you told us more about what kind of area this is and its purpose, we might be able to come up with something though.
