Which eggs taste best of the dark egg laying breeds?

Shell color and yolk/albumen taste are two completely unrelated things.
Shell color is based on the genetics and uterine pigments of the breed. The taste of the egg is dictated by the diet of the hen.
Take a white egg from a leghorn, a tinted egg from a yokohama, a cream egg from a turken, a light brown egg from an orpington, a dark egg from a welsummer, a darker egg from a penedesenca and an even darker egg from a black copper marans. If all those hens were on the same diet in the same housing and forage, you could do a blind taste test and all the eggs would taste the same.
