The reason is that the dark color of this sauce can dye the other ingredients in the dish into dark brown color. Particularly, they add dark soy sauce in little quantity in stews, dressings, and dips for this reason.
When you intend to prepare Chinese dark soy sauce recipes, you should remember one thing.
