To meaningfully evaluate a reed, you'd have to account for the way it plays on a specific mouthpiece. I have found reeds of certain brands to sound much more brilliant (if you like that term better than "brighter") on some of the mouthpieces I own than on others. Reeds that sound quite dull on one mouthpiece, likewise, may sound much fuller and richer on another.
If you like the mouthpiece you're using, then a reed that sounds too colorful, maybe buzzy, on that mouthpiece isn't what you should use. But that result is produced by the combination (adding influences from your instrument and your approach to sound production).
