The dorsal side of an earthworm is darker than the ventral side. This is because of the dorsal blood vessal that runs along the top of the digestive track and just under the skin. There is a ventral blood vessel, but it doesn't lie against the skin, but instead in between the ventral nerve cord and the digestive track.

Whats the colour difference between frogs ventral and dorsal side?
It helps them camouflage itself from predators. Although the answer above is true, here is a more informative answer. The bottom of the frog is a lighter color then the top. This is because if the frog is floating on top of the water, and prey or a predator looks up and the frog, the suns glare makes the frog harder to see. Also, there are darker splotches on the bottom so it doesn't show the silhouette for the frog. the top of the frog is darker because when swimming at the bottom of a murky lake, it blends in with the bottom.
