I don't think it "does" anything that spectacular, but from the photos I've seen it's a nice colour.  Dragon Jools has tested it - you can read her findings here: http://dragonjools.blogspot.com/2009/09/effetre-441-dark-matter-follow-up.html and here: http://dragonjools.blogspot.com/2009/09/effetre-441-dark-matter.html

I've put Aurae over it and got a nice metallic shine I have also tried reducing it heavily and get patches of a red copper lustre but can't get it over the whole bead - still playing  ;D ;D

Aah, right, not quite what I was expecting going by the colour of the paddle, but it does look interesting...probably worth a go!  8)
