Can you use 暗 to describe people?
The word 暗 can mean dark and also underhand and is also used as an adverb meaning in secret. So I am wondering if you can you describe people as being 暗? To mean their personality is a bit dark or secretive, or even evil etc.
For example can I say things like; 他的性格很暗,一个很暗的人 or 这个暗人?

No, in this case u can say 他的性格很黑暗。他是个邪恶的人。U can't use 暗 to mean someone is evil, even though 暗 mean their personality is evil somewhere.

I hardly use this word when I discribe people's personality.I use quite person.
Because this word is rude.

I have never heard people use 暗 to describe a person. We do use the opposite, 個性開朗/个性开朗 to refer to someone with a bright, happy disposition. The natural antonym for 开朗 is 阴沉, and when you call someone 个性阴沉, you mean that person has an evil, dark, and conniving/manipulative personality.
If you say 那个人很暗, I would think "hmm? Does it mean that person is dark-skinned?" (Even though the proper way to say that is 那个人皮肤很黝黑)
