I found the Portnoy article:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/123095324/the-embouchure-and-tone-color
His main theory is:
"All of these tone colors, ranging from extreme mellowness to stridency, and the dynamics of the tone, ranging from pp to ff , are controlled mainly by the muscles in the lower lip and the wind pressure."
This was the thinking in the 1950's (And by a few today!).
These things do come into it, but shaping the oral cavity seems to give more change.
I found if took a surprising amount of effort to change the tone quality in the upper register without using a diminuendo. But it could be done.
