To answer your questions:
1) Yes, Eastern Indigos tend to be the darkest/richest black/indigo blue color of the Drymarchon clan (of course, there is variability among subspecies)
2) Check with your local dept. of natural resources, fish and game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife to make sure you are not required to keep a state endangered species permit. I can tell you this much, if you purchase an indigo snake from outside of Colorado (which is very likely), you will need an interstate commerce permit from the USFWS. Make sure you cover all of your bases.
3) Although I breed easterns, I would recommend that you go to www.indigosnakes.com to get a complete listing of breeders; I would highly recommend that you make some phone calls to make sure you are completely comfortable with the people you are dealing with (most of the folks listed at this website are great people to deal with).
Good luck, Rob

>>1. Which indigo is the all black/blue one? Or I should say, has the most black/blue color. Eastern? I'm having a hard time finding info...
>>
>>2. I keep on hearing permits permits permits, I live in Colorado and as far as I know there are no "illegal" snakes (except for hots) in my area. There are no other restrictions in my city regarding snakes besides the hot ones, do I need a permit if I get a pair of indigos? Does anyone know, or, does anyone know where I can find out?
>>
>>3. Where do you recommend I go to look for snakes?
