Meaning of 「どどめ色」


I came across this sentence:

> 「あんた ホントに **どどめ色** の青春を過ごしてるわね」

The context is that the addressee wanted to show the speaker a new move he
learned by watching the same video over and over again.

Apparently 「 **どどめ色** 」 refers to a certain color
(<https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%A9%E3%81%A9%E3%82%81>). I cannot really
make sense of what it is supposed to mean here though. Are there any other
examples of a color modifying 「青春」or are there any set phrases that help
understanding the construction here?

Physically, this color refers to dark purple/blue, but ドドメ色(の) is more
commonly used as an idiom that means something negative like "dark", "dirty"
or "somber". Either way, ドドメ色 is an uncommon word mainly used in literary
works, so if you used ドドメ色の青春 in an ordinary conversation, it would probably
sound like a joke. (By the way, this word seems to have a sexual connotation
in some dialects, but I'm not familiar with that.)
