When someone says item A is brighter than item B it is generally taken to mean that they think that item A emphasises high frequencies relative to item B.
If cable A really is brighter (emphasises high frequencies) than cable B then you can see from comparing the frequency responses. You simply pass a white noise sample down each cable and measure the level of each frequency response at the receiving end, a flat cable will show a flat frequency response with all frewuencies more or less at the same level a bright cable will show a lift of energy in the upper frequencies.
here is a crude example
