If you're talking personality wise I think all of the elements are potentially equally light and dark. But if you're talking about the more physical and literal attributes of light and dark I would have to agree with the light elements being air and fire and the dark ones being earth and water.

Fire creates heat and light

Air allows light to pass through it almost unhindered and is the least dense (lightest) of the different forms of matter.

Earth is solid and dense. It doesn't create light and completely stops light from passing through it. in a cave there is no light.

Water. When I think of water the main thing that comes to mind is the ocean. The ocean is ususally very cold. In the deepest parts of the ocean there is no light at all. Also there are a lot of secrets and what not hidden inthe ocean which just makes it seem darker to me
