Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright


Throughout thousands of postings, the descriptive adjectives of dark, warm, and bright are employed.  What does each of them actually mean?  Are these meanings solely subjective, or can they be seen in displays of frequency responses and distortion across an audio spectrum?

My speakers are considered “warm” the treble is rolled off at 600hz, or mghz, or something like that.
the treble is not in your face, making your teeth grate, or pain.


I like the warm speaker, more relaxing, yes.
does it lose some of the airy sound, yes, it’s a sacrifice. 
To each their own.
