First off, keep in mind that a lot of the smaller string brands are just re-branded strings made by the larger companies. I used to have something that showed who made what, but I can't seem to find it. Just be aware that some of these boutique strings are normal strings in really nice packaging.
For guitar strings that start out less bright, you might want to look into coated strings. They are not as bright at the beginning as regular bronze strings, but they hold their tone longer (due to the coating).
I've become fond of the Martin Extended Life SP+ strings. They are coated, they sound good, they stay sounding good longer than uncoated strings, and if you buy them in quantity you can get them relatively cheap.
