You want roux dark because of the flavor it imparts. Adding Kitchen Bouquet is like adding food coloring.

Exactly.

For me, gumbo with a roux which isn't dark enough is already a messed up gumbo. Some folks prefer rouxs that aren't as dark. I think they probably haven't had a good dark roux, though. It's a game changer in gumbo.
