Re: darkening beer.
The May/June 2017 issue of Brew Your Own has an article on darkening light color beers.
I'm just here for the beer.

Re: darkening beer.
cold steeping (as opposed to mashing) darker malts is supposed to give less flavour contribution. I’ve never tried it myself, but it’s worth considering.
If it was only 1-2% of the grain bill, I’d be tempted just to mash the darker ‘colour’ grains. Maybe a dehusked black malt like Carafa Special.
