I'm gonna give my opinion which, due to it being MY opinion, I consider to be fact:
- A 'bright' tone has a high presence of overtones and but lacks plenty of other, perhaps mid-range, overtones as well.
- A dark tone lacks overtones but is still full sounding due to a good balance of the overtones that ARE present.
To me, neither is a good sound on it's own. A good sound is capable of producing both (tonal flexibility). I feel that as a rule, as you crescendo, the overtones should increase. To be even more general, a good player can produce both types and everything in between and use them to maximum effect.
In conclusion, you can't just put clarinet sounds into two categories. There's smooth, there's light, there's oily, there's prickly, there's pretty much a sound for every descriptive word!
We're limiting ourselves by using only two words to describe sound.
