I don't know about sound directly, as I have had three cedar topped guitars but not at the same time!

The first two (514 and 714) were "light" in color, just a bit warmer than aged Sitka.

The K14C cedar I have now has such a chocolatey brown top that at first I thought it had to be stained!

Phil Keaggy's Olson is chocolatey brown and is lovely and warm. My cedar-top is oatmeal colored and also lovely and warm.
