My dogs eye is swollen and it appears black or dark. She doesn't seem like she is in pain or it itches but it's definitely not opening all the way and every once in a while, she will rub it.

I consider any swelling of the eye to be an emergency. It may simply be a touch of conjunctivitis but potentially there could be damage to the cornea, or a similar more serious injury. You can soothe the eye with a cooled tea bag for immediate relief, but I would have it checked asap.
