Hi, (Second attempt, sorry if you get a duplicate.) For very high ISO, i usually enable colour smoothing under demosaic settings, apply profiled denoising for colours (wavelet mode with colour blending mode, heavy denoising settings), avoid all sharpening, and, if the situation is really bad, apply a pinch of raw denoising. Still, I find that RawTherapee is better in this respect. Sometimes I skip denoising in darktable and use NoiseNinja, an old commercial denoising app that has a Linux version (BTW, PictureCode, developers of NoiseNinja, now produce a nice little raw developer called PhotoNinja, which you can get to run under wine).
Regarding colours, darktable often ships with two profiles for a camera, called standard and enhanced. You can try both, and if you don't like either, you can profile your camera, or try RawStudio's profiles (if they have one). Expect a drop in processing speed with RawStudio profiles, though.
