Strange that it would become dark green! Do you have a pic? Hard to tell how much sun it's getting exactly. My phals can take dappled south sun easily (I'm at a latitude simila to you). By dappled I mean that there is a butterfly bush in front of the window that blocks a bit of the sun.
I would give it time to adjust a bit more before you move it again. Watch it for a while, and feel the leaves. If they leaves start to feel warm to the touch, you need to move the plant a bit further from the window. It might also develop a little bit of a purple tinge. That's good, means the plant is getting the max amount of light it needs. But if it goes completely purple, that's too much light!
Still, keep in mind that the sun is getting stronger and stronger now, as spring progresses, so watch the plant carefully!
