brightness has 7 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is dullness.

intelligence as manifested in being quick and witty
the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light
