I'm not saying my sound is really dark but I have learned to make my sound darker by really learning how to support the reed. Key is, embouchure strength comes in time and truly supporting the reed does too. Experiment with air pressure and speed of air while at the same time working on a very rounded OOO embouchure. See how that can change your tone quality by doing different things with just that. Take note what works best and work at maintaining that exact thing for longer and longer periods of time. It doesn't happen overnight but gradually it does happen and it’s neat! You will get the hang of it as long as you stay focused on it.
