Ok, "material lights" sounds good then.
In the current implementation the color is always of the same brightness, because it is normalized in the shader. A dark color is just blended over more easily by light colors, because dark light is weak. The actual darkness of the light is achieved by also reducing it's brightness, so that it is less prominent in the light intensity texture. For brightness I use V from the HSV color scheme, so that
Example: RGB(128, 0, 0) would have the same effect as RGB(255, 0, 0). But RGB has only a value of 0.5, which makes the light half as bright as the other one.
Do you know where the from other materials is applied?

overall brightness = V * brightness.Example: RGB(128, 0, 0) would have the same effect as RGB(255, 0, 0). But RGB has only a value of 0.5, which makes the light half as bright as the other one.
