I was seriously expecting that dark side was the color I would go for. The dealer I worked with helped me see a couple different cars in dark side. It is true that when the sun light catches off it just right it's a really nice, interesting blueish greenish metal flaked color. But unfortunately I found that the rest of the time it just looks black. I gave it some serious consideration, but in the end chose not to go for it. It's all subjective about what you like though. Definitely preferred it more than black though, just because of the few times when it does catch the light just right.
