Mischa, the dark shadows are your anchors, without which you will drift around in the current or with the wind, as will your viewers.
You MUST not be afraid to go deeply into the dark shadows -- or at least the dark accents.
If colorless shadows are your concern, that's a different matter -- there are thousands of beautiful ways to paint dark mysteries. But don't shy away from the "value" of shadow.
It IS an accent, though, not the main feature. Don't overdo it, either.
