Dark designs are the hardest to get right. As a start I always make my designs with light colours and then if it looks good, change them to dark!

Default Hey! Dark colours

If I use dark colors, your typography must be white or a very bright readable colour. Remember that everything has it's purpose, you wont use dark colors for a baby ad, you would for a man's perfume ad, a brochure about something formal, etc. Black looks great as a backgound with white and some extras with red, aqua, etc. Also, try the grey look with orange, looks very good. Violet also looks good for a more funky style.
