Uh oh, you said the secret word...... <grin> but the way that
you have decribed specific physical details forces me to ask you....
without meaning to revive an overworked topic that probably nobody on
this list wants to revisit (right now). Hopefully you can answer this
question in a single sentence:

I'm not asking you to discuss what 'dark' is. I'm asking if, when
you use the word, do you have a tonal perception in mind ("this sounds
dark") or do you have a specific physical (and measurable) overtone
recipe in mind?

Thanks,
Bill
