I think the OP's intent is great.
I also think that comments on the absence of objectivity regarding the meaning of words that describe sound, as mentioned by posters like Karl and Ed are just as valid.
Ideally, I think such a project is approached by making an inventory of clarinet sounds, ideally from well known players and, say, segments of Youtube videos, and seeing if consensus, or at least definitions that we all don't agree upon but accept, can be formulated to say, for example:
'ok, if you listen to this segment of Leister between the 1 and 2 minute mark in this piece, that, IMHO, is one chocolate/dark/bright etc. example of clarinet sound.'
Of course sticking such audio segments up against devices that can single out overtones, to see if objective science can correlate a particular clarinet sound with a particular arrangement of harmonics, might get passed the subjectivity of people describing sound...a highly opinionated tasks that at least is one step closer to concrete definitions that mere words.
