The added mass imparts dimensional stability to some of the lighter woods (cocobolo, rosewood, etc) in the face of humidity and temperature changes. A barrel need not be overly massive, IMHO, to achieve this benefit.
As far as darker or brighter......that would depend on the wood, the internal topography, and (to quote G. Smith, the spirit of the reamer), and...oh yes, most importantly, how you play it.

Disclaimer....I make and sell barrels...hefty or thin.
