Default General question about light

I've seen some that have better flower color when grown a little shadier --
Epc. Frances Dyer, for one. Kenni

Looking for opinions, science, and/or anecdotal evidence:

(Disregarding the obvious situation in which the light intensity is so
great that pant tissues are burned)

Is it possible to give a plant too much light?

It is well established that too little light will lead to slower growth,
more "leggy" growth, and less blooming, and I have frequently heard that
plants should be grown as bright as possible without damaging them, but is
that really good advice? Are there cases where plants grow better in more
subdued lighting? If so, which, and why is that?
