I believe you are right. Just strikes me as weird, that in dark conditions, you use a dark fly. I know, I know, it works... Been using it that way for years.

One thing I always try to keep in mind is "low light=dark colors, bright light=bright colors". the same holds true in muddy vs. clear water. Back when I use to gear fish for steelhead in the early morning and in the evening when light was at a minimum black corkies were one of my best colors. I think it has more to do with the silhouette showing up better, the brighter or lighter colors just wash out with low light.
My 2 cents
