Abstract: The MSSM provides a dark matter candidate and alleviates fine tuning, but it is difficult to see the impact of collider limits on the dark matter parameter space. We present some simple SM extensions adding only colored 'partners' and a DM candidate that couple to quarks. These could be treated as effective theories of new physics that preserves naturalness, and enable us to clearly see the connection between collider searches, direct detection limits and the relic density of dark matter.
