Yeah, OK, I get it now (I think). What I did was that I screwed up the Decals_Lit.vtf that was already in the materials/decals folder and then I decided it was easier to just copy over the one from the source materials file which was (without me knowing) a lot darker.
If this is it, then the easiest solution to making your explosion decal darker is to just copy over the Decals_lit.vtf that you find in the source materials.gcf
