We are trying to decide on if we should go with a light, mid-tone, or darker dashboard. Would love feedback of which one you like best! The full-size versions are there too. Thanks!!
I like the design of B, but I think the colors of A will be more widely accepted for this purpose of this app by its users. It's easier to navigate in A as I think the sidebar grabs more attention in B and C than it should. Those are my thoughts :)
... I'll add. I think that the dark backgrounds over the side nav pulls all your attention to the selected item. With the subtle side nav, you get more even focus drawing you to the content. I like that.
Definitely agree with @Alex Wright here. The darker side bars really are a bit of a distraction from the rest of the color scheme. The colors in A add just enough differentiation between active and inactive content.
At first I was thinking C because I like the separation. But for the target audience and in the name of simplicity, as well as based on the good points of the comments above, I also vote for A.

I have to go with A. I don't mind B or C, but A feels a lot cleaner and the sidebar isn't fighting for attention.

A or B, C is too dark. If I was to pick one possibly A.
It's looking really nice though. *liked* *bucketed*
